In my opinion, collaborating with oily skin type is not an easy endeavor. You need to moisturize your
face but believe that any addition of moisture will cause acne, oily, and shiny skin to occur.
The good news? Just as for the models with dry skin, the same rule applies for the oily skinned models too;
they also require moisturizing. The challenge belongs to identifying a great product that both moisturizes
and does not cause acne breakouts and leaves skin feeling greasy. So let’s immerse into the problem,
agitation and solution framework so that you could choose the right moisturizer for oily skin.
The Struggle to Find the Right Moisturizer
In case you are an owner of oily skin, you can mistakenly believe that is better not to use any moisturizers.
But here’s the truth oily skin still needs hydration. When it is missing your skins starts to overcompensate
and produces even more oil to compensate for the dryness. This leads to a formation of greasy layer on the skin surface and chances of the pores being blocked and acne develop.
Selecting the right moisturizer, however, can be a very tiresome process. Most moisturizers available in the market are thick, contain oils or are made from products that may be worst of you are suffering from oily skin. Time and money can easily be spent on all sorts of products without achieving any results and value for the money spent. So, what should you look for?
Choosing the Right Moisturizer for Oily Skin
The secret of effective selection of right moisturizer is to look for a light-weight moisturizers which will gently hydrate your skin without causing any breakouts and oily shine to your face. Here’s what to look for when choosing the right moisturizer for your skin type:
1. Especially try to focus on the products labeled as oil free, non comedogenic.
Oily skin requires a product other than those with thick oil because this makes it worse by clogging the pores of skin. Opt for oil-free and non comedogenic products on the market as these are unlikely to clog your skin pores.
Tip: A few oils like jojoba or squalane on the other hand are quite beneficial for oily skin but for the most part, you’ll want to stay away from anything with coconut or mineral oil.
Try: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Moisturizer.
2. Select A Water Based Formulation Depending On The Kind Of Coat
Emulsion-type moisturizers are mostly heavy and leave the skin with oily texture all over the face especially if one applied the cream before mid morning. Oil-in-water emulsions are more refined than oil-in-gel and are the lightest to penetrate the skin without leaving the skin looking shiny. They give you water content without adding bulk.
Tip: Gel moisturizers fit best because they provide the most needed amount of moisture and seal it, while not causing the appearance of pores.
Try: Clinique’s Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly or Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb.
