Best Moisturizers For Oily Skin

Oily skin needs special care. This type of skin tends to get greasy and shiny, the pores tend to be large and open, mainly in the t-zone area (forehead, nose and chin). The excessive oil production causes the skin to look dirty, tired and unattractive.

The good thing is, that this type of skin age better, the oil protects the skin and lubricate it, which means that as you get older, your skin would look younger than it should have been. So keep in mind that there are actually good things in having oily skin.

Nevertheless, it’s important to remove that excess oil on a daily basis, in a way that will not dry out your skin and will not strip away the oil that the skin needs. This is how…

Two Basic Rules Of Oily Skin Care

Best Moisturizers For Oily Skin

There are two basic rules when taking care of oily skin:
1. Cleansing
2. moisturizing

They are both equally important. Not washing or moisturizing your face for even one night can lead to breakouts and blackheads.

Rule Number 1 – Cleansing

Keep you face clean

Cleanse your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Don’t ever go to sleep without cleansing your face, it will only make your pores clog and create “black heads” or pimples. Keeping your face clean is the best thing you can do for oily skin. But i want to make myself clear (just a word game:) – wash twice a day but not more then that. Washing your face too many times will make it dry and will wash away the oils that the skin needs to protect itself and the result would be just the opposite, the skin will produce even more oil than before – so don’t over wash!

Rule Number 2 – Moisturizing

Don’t Ever Leave Your Skin Bare

After Cleansing, it is extremely important to apply a Moisturizer. The cleansing process strip away the oils that the skin needs. Moisturizing is important in restoring the skin natural moist. You can sometimes feel after washing your face, that the skin feels tight and that is because it is dry. But as i said before, do not delusion yourself, it will only make your skin to produce even more oil.

How to Choose A Moisturizer For Oily Skin?

when you pick moisturizer, the first thing you should look for is the oily skin tag. You should also look for the oil-free tag.
Good oily skin moisturizers are water based and some of them are even called gel moisturizers because they are lighter than the ordinary face cream and have more water in them.
I recommend the gel type moisturizers, they are most suitable for oily skin, they are lighter and absorb easily.
