How to Pick the Best Moisturizer for Oily & Acne Prone Skin

Below are some guidelines to follow for picking a good moisturizer for your oily and acne prone skin:

  • Read the labels to ensure that the products are oil-free and are non-comedogenic. Also, pick a lotion that is light. All these factors reduces the chances of your pores getting clogged.
  • Go for natural and ensure the moisturizing product has as few chemicals and fragrances as possible. The fragrances and chemicals can irritate your skin and cause skin sensitivity. Opt for a product that uses as much natural and organic ingredients as possible.
  • Choose products that are loaded with essential vitamins and antioxidants. The vitamins and antioxidants nourish your skin, fight free radicals, and keep your skin healthy and youngerl ooking.
  • Make sure it has SPF sun protection. Even if you stay indoor, exposure to window light and artificial light can cause damage to your skin. Using a moisturizer with min SPF15 sunscreen daily will help protect your skin from aging and skin cancer. If you happen to use an acne product that increase skin sensitivity, it is especially important to wear sunscreen. The preferable sun protection ingredients to look for are zinc oxide and Titanium Dioxide as these are more gentle on the skin.
