With the vast variety of skincare products hitting Indian market, each of it that comes with various claims- finding an oil-free Moisturiser that suits your oily and acne-prone skin becomes a tedious job.

Most women think Moisturisers make their oily skin worse or increases their acne.

Some women think only cleansing is needed and this is great for removing excess oil and dirt from face, but over cleansing will strip the skin, remove the natural oils on your face and as a result, your face produce more oil to compensate.Moisturising the face is not just for normal to dry skin types, but for all.

Sometimes, The facial moisturizers that you use on oily skin can make the skin look shiny and oily. An excellent way to combat oiliness due to a moisturizer is to apply the moisturizer, leave it on for 10-15 minuteson your face and then wash the face using a mild cleanser (such as sebamed cleansing foam). This will ensure skin absorbs all the moisture it needs and the rest are washed off.
