Moisture is needed by every skin whether dry, oily, or combination type. But everyone has this misconception that oily skin doesn't need moisturization which is indeed a false fact. Moisture is essential for oily skin as much as it is needed by other skin types. People with oily skin are more prone to acne and pimples because sebum production is enhanced but keeping your skin dry all the time and not applying moisturizer to the skin will cause the skin to compensate for the lost moisture and hence sebum production is further enhanced. Instead of oil-based moisturizers, water-based or gel-based moisturizers should be used if you have oily skin.
Here are some of the moisturizer you could adopt if you have oily acne-prone skin.
1) Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
It's a gel-based moisturizer that contains Hyaluronic Acid. It's quickly absorbed in the skin and provides moisture to the skin for 48 hours making it smooth and hydrated.
2) CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
This moisturizer contains a blend of Ceramides, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid. If you have sensitive and oily skin, this can be a regular moisturizer, it comes with SPF 30 which helps protect and restore the protective skin barrier. It is non-comedogenic and keeps your skin oil-free.
3) La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Sebo- Regulating Moisturizer
This product is made using Sebulyse Technology. It offers sebum control and helps absorb excess oil, gives a matte finish, improves skin texture, and reduces pore size.
4) Re'equil Oil-Free Mattifying Moisturizer
This moisturizer claims that it reduces the appearance of pores and comes with an oil-free formula that gives a matte finish and regulates excess oil. It is non-greasy, non-comedogenic, and dermatologically tested.
5) Neutrogena Oil-Free Facial Moisturizer with SPF
This moisturizer comes with UVA/UVB protection and claims it will protect the skin from sun damage and photo-induced allergy. It is non-comedogenic and moisturizes the skin without making it greasy.
Moisturizing your skin is essential for a skincare routine. After cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser, followed by the toner, moisturizer should be applied. Even if you have super oily skin and you don't feel the need for moisturizer, its application is necessary which will keep your skin hydrated and control sebum production.
So the next time you go out don't forget to put on moisturizer and of course your mask girls!
