If you’ve got oily or combination skin, you might be hesitant to include a moisturizer in your skin care regime, afraid that it will exacerbate the problem. However, moisturizers are an essential step in your skin care regime, so it’s important to find the best moisturizer for oily skin to keep your complexion looking healthy and shine-free.
Will Moisturizers Make My Oily Skin Worse?
A greasy complexion is quite often caused by dehydrated skin, as the body produces excess oil in order to compensate for the lack of moisture. By including the right moisturizer in your skin care regime could banish your oily complexion for good.
The best moisturizer for oily skin is an oil-free, mattifying moisturizer that has been specifically formulated for oily/combination skin, that will minimize pores, control oil production and reduce shine for a gorgeous shine-free complexion.
