Moisturizing combination skin can be a little bit tricky. With some areas of your face oily and prone to breakouts and others dry and in need of hydration, finding a balance can seem impossible. Luckily for you, we’ve curated an edit of the best hydrating products for combination skin in various textures and formulas.

Why Should I Moisturize?

If you have combination skin, slathering it with moisturizers might seem like the wrong move since the oily areas can break out more. However, without moisture, your skin becomes dry and irritated. So, it’s important to include moisturizers in your daily beauty regimen for healthy, radiant, and supple skin.

Moisturizers

help hydrate your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

They also balance your skin’s natural oil production so that your oily areas don’t produce more oil.

Moisturizers for combination skin are specially designed with a lightweight formula to hydrate your skin without weighing it down.

They don’t contain any skin-aggravating or harsh ingredients that can make your dry areas drier and your oily areas oilier.

If you don’t want to spend more time using different moisturizers on different parts of your face, moisturizers for combination skin are perfect for you. They balance your oily and dry areas for ultimate glowing skin.

However, when it comes to products like these, there’s no one-size-fits-all. It all depends on how oily your oily areas are and how dry your dry areas are.

How To Choose The Best Moisturizer

Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for the right moisturizer for your skin type.

  • The dry parts of your face would thrive with moisturizers containing water-binding properties such as hyaluronic acid.
  • The oily parts of your face require a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly, blends seamlessly, and keeps it from feeling too greasy in the middle of the day.
  • Your skin needs protection from harsh UV rays to prevent sunburns, discoloration, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. A moisturizer with UVA/UVB protection can help prevent this.
  • Your skin type determines the moisturizer you choose. For combination or sensitive skin types, the skin requires gentle, non-irritating products, while acne-prone skin needs mild moisturizers, which prevent further breakouts.

Look for moisturizers with these properties for radiant, healthy skin. Here’s a list of LOOKFANTASTIC’s five best moisturizers for combination skin.
