If I have oily skin, I don’t need to use a moisturizer!
Many people mistakenly equate oil with moisture. They think that if skin is oily, then it must have enough moisture — or maybe even too much.
Also, using the wrong moisturizer can make it seem like all moisturizers exacerbate oily skin. Choosing an ill-suited lotion “can be a skin care disaster: greasy feeling skin, blackheads and pimples,” writes skincare expert Angela Palmer for “About.” So many skip this step altogether, afraid of making their skin even greasier.
Comparing oil to moisture is like comparing apples to oranges. They’re not the same things.
Skin type and moisture level can change based on environmental conditions or fluids consumed, writes Lara Ceroni for Elle Canada. Even oily skin can become drier when humidity is low or you’re dehydrated.
In his book, “10 Minutes/10 Years: Your Definitive Guide to a Beautiful and More Youthful Appearance,” dermatologist Frederic Brandt, M.D., explains that oily skin still needs moisturizer, because it defends skin from damage and signs of aging. He suggests using a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Check out AdvanSkin Ultimate Skin Treatment Serum.
You can also use a combination product containing an oil-free moisturizer and sunscreen, suggest Doris Pooser and Suki Duggan in their book, The Essential Guide to Hair, Makeup & Skin Care.
