hair and skin super oily all of a sudden ?

Haircare

Hi everyone. It’s my first time posting here so hopefully this is the right sub. Lately my skin and hair has been super super oily. Skin immediately oily, and if I wash my hair in the morning it can be oily by the evening or next day.

I haven’t changed my haircare or skincare routine at all. I’ve got sensitive skin and fine dry hair. At first I thought it was usual skin outbreak before & during my period. But then it never stopped, and got worse. It’s been a month ish now and I’ve exhausted all options I can think off. I tried for a week only applying moisturiser and hyaluronic acid. I did my usual routine, I tried a homemade / organic hair mask for build up to see if that was right. I tried buying a salicylic acid face mask, none of these things did anything. I tried adding niacinamide to my nighttime routine, it didn’t change anything.

Any thoughts? I’m about to run out of my usual shampoo and conditioner duo, so I wanted to get some advice in case I need to buy some new products.
