Moisturizers for Oily Skin & Body Care

A high quality moisturizer can help reduce or prevent wrinkles, age spots, and unattractive dry skin. But if you have oily skin, or a combination complexion where some parts of your face are oily but others dry, you may have a difficult time finding the right moisturizers. Many moisturizers are designed for normal to dry skin. These are often too oily or greasy when used on oily skin, and can even cause pimples.

Although many moisturizers available in drug stores and supermarkets are not designed specifically for oily skin, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t available. There are many specialized and high quality moisturizers available, including formulations designed for oily skin types. These moisturizers usually contain less oils or other moisturizing agents, and won’t cause your skin to produce more oil. A quality moisturizers help your facial skin retain needed water, not stimulate oil production or coat your face.

If your oily skin is combined with acne, you may have a special need for moisturizers. Most acne treatments are extremely drying, and may cause more skin damage if you don’t protect your skin with a moisturizer. Treatments like benzoyl peroxide can cure acne pustules, but will prevent your skin from producing even a regular amount of oil, and causes loss of moisture from your skin. Wrinkle treatments like retinol are also equally drying to the skin.

Combination skin can be the most difficult to moisturize, as the cream for oily skin may not be right for the dry parts of your face. You can either use two good quality moisturizing lotion, one formulated for each type of skin you have, or purchase and use a moisturizer designed for combination skin. Using a moisturizer can help protect your skin from sun and wind damage, reduce and prevent wrinkles, and improve the look of any type of skin.
