Skin feels tight but isnt dry

[CakeKiller]

This is a weird one. A few hours after cleansing and moisturising, my face feels like its really dry and tight. But when I touch my skin it feels smooth* *and hydrated. Does anyone else get this? Any idea how to stop it?

I use a cetaphil gentle cleanser, polyglutamic acid serum and Avene rich moisturiser, sometimes with marula oil at the end.

Probably dehydrated if your skin is shiny and tight. I know you said it feels hydrated, I would incorporate a hyaluronic acid onto damp skin before your moisturiser.

I use polyglutamic acid, which is apparently several times more hydrating than hyaluronic!

I drink loads of water too.
