For those of you with oily skin types, you've probably heard that if your skin is already oily, there's no need to moisturize, right? Well, in this article, we will discuss why oily skin also needs moisturizer, even though it seems contradictory.
Why does oily skin still need moisturizer?
- Balancing Water and Oil Content: Oily skin doesn't mean it has enough moisture. Moisturizers can help maintain the balance between water and oil levels in the skin.
-
Prevents Excessive Oil Production: If the skin is under-moisturized, it can actually make the oil glands in the skin work harder, producing excessive oil to compensate.
-
Avoids Dehydration: Oily skin can get dehydrated too. Dehydration is not just about water, but also about skin moisture.
- Helps Nourish Skin: Moisturizers can help repair the skin barrier, prevent environmental damage and keep skin healthy.
Tips for Choosing a Moisturizer for Oily Skin
-
Choose a Non-comedogenic Moisturizer: Choose a moisturizer that won't clog your pores and make acne worse.
-
Light Texture: Choose a moisturizer with a light texture that absorbs easily into the skin.
-
Appropriate Ingredients: Choose a moisturizer with gel-like or water-based ingredients, which are suitable for oily skin.
How to use it?
Use moisturizer after washing your face, especially in the morning and at night. In the morning, moisturizer can provide a protective layer before we do activities, and at night it can help the skin regenerate while resting.
Oily skin still needs moisturizer to maintain skin balance. Choosing the right moisturizer according to the needs of oily skin can help keep your skin moisturized, prevent dehydration, and keep your skin healthy. So, don't hesitate to use moisturizer even if you have oily skin!
