Moisturizing your skin should be an essential part of your skincare routine, regardless of your skin type. For oily skin specifically, you should still moisturize it on a daily basis. However, there are certain products you can use to prevent more oils forming on your skin.
Here are a 5 tips for moisturizing oily skin.
Use An Oil-Free Moisturizer
Your skin’s natural oils can be beneficial if they are properly taken care of. One way to ensure these natural oils are not affected is to use an oil-free moisturizer. These products should not cause your skin to become more oily and can prevent a slick or shiny appearance. Most of these moisturizers without oils will be water-based, so it is important to look for these products during your next visit to your skincare shop.
Apply Face Masks
Face masks can help bring moisture back into your skin while removing excess oils. Additionally, they can remove dirt and unclog your pores. Face masks that have clay in them can be beneficial for oily skin as clay can absorb the excess oils. Some clay masks may also have anti-inflammatory ingredients, which can help your skin if you are prone to breakouts or blemishes.
Formulas With Peptides
Peptides have many benefits as they hold collagen and can easily penetrate your skin. Peptides can help bring moisture back into your skin while also smoothing fine lines, decreasing inflammation, and improving your skin’s firmness. Many moisturizers include peptides, so keep your eye out for this ingredient.
Avoid Heavy Creams
Many creams may be very heavy on your skin for those with extremely dry skin. These creams tend to be very popular and can come from likeable brands. However, heavy creams may result in your skin becoming more oily as your pores can become clogged due to all the excess oils. Try to stick to light creams to prevent any skin issues.
