Don’t: Skip Moisturizer
People with oily skin might feel like they need to avoid moisturizer altogether, but this can also worsen acne. In fact, a lack of moisture on your skin’s surface may trigger your body to produce more oil to make up for what it’s lacking. This is how you end up with a dried-out, flaky, and red complexion with an oil slick on top.3
What to Do Instead: You don’t need to use a heavy moisturizer if you have oily skin. Instead, use an oil-free, water-based moisturizer. Better yet, choose a product formulated with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, cica, peptides, or cucumber extract. Use it every time you wash your face.
