❌ MYTH: If you have oily skin, you don’t need a moisturizer.
✅ FACT: Even oily skin needs hydration...the key is choosing the right type.
Swipe 👈 to see why!
Here’s why moisturizing oily skin matters:
✨ Harsh cleansers or acne treatments can dehydrate skin → leading to more oil production
✨ Moisturizer helps maintain a healthy skin barrier
✨ Hydrated skin = less irritation + better acne control
What to look for in a moisturizer for oily skin:
💧 Water-based or gel formulas
🚫 Non-comedogenic & oil-free
🌿 Ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, urea
What to avoid:
❌ Heavy oils (like coconut or shea butter)
❌ Petroleum-based products
❌ Fragrance & alcohol-heavy formulas
👉 Pro Tip: Apply a small amount to damp skin after cleansing. Use lighter formulas in humid climates and slightly more hydrating ones in dry weather.
