Hot take: your oily skin needs more moisture
Oily skin does produce more oil, but it does not mean it is extra hydrated and moisturized. If your skin is lacking proper hydration, it begins to produce excess oil and makes you prone to acne and dehydration.
When the skin is dehydrated, it will make up for this by producing more sebum (the skin’s natural oils). Using products that help restore your skin’s moisture result in a balance for natural oil production.
Choosing the right products:
- Hyaluronic Acid: It takes all of the moisture in the air and absorbs it into your skin. This is applied before your moisturizer, best when skin is damp after cleansing, and locks in all of the hydration and moisture it can find.
- Moisturizing cream: For hydration without sitting heavily on your skin.
- Acne and sensitive skin-friendly cleansers: Products like your cleanser should not be stripping your skin, rather they should be restoring your skin gently. Choose a gentle cleanser like our skinBe Chamomile Cleanser does not overly dry the skin out and delivers soothing ingredients like chamomile and ginger to calm the acne or sensitivity.
Moisturizing oily skin is all about finding balance. By giving your skin the right kind of hydration, you can avoid the cycle of excess oil production while keeping your skin healthy and well-hydrated. If you struggle with oily skin, don’t skip these essential skincare steps!
