Yes, oily skin still needs moisture. Skipping moisturiser can lead to increased oil production as your skin tries to compensate for the lack of hydration. This is a common misconception.
Skipping moisturiser can cause your skin to produce even more oil. Look for products that are lightweight and non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores
Tips for moisturising with oily skin
1. Use a toner
After cleansing, apply a toner to help balance your skin’s pH levels before moisturising.
2. Choose ingredients wisely
Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide, which are known for their hydrating and balancing properties.
3. Keep a routine
Consistency is key. Apply moisturiser twice a day, in the morning and before bed, to maintain hydration levels.
