Does Oily Skin Need Moisturization?

Moisturization is non-negotiable in a routine, regardless of the skin type. A good moisturizer softens ageing lines, calms inflammation, and makes your skin look soft.

Why Role Does A Moisturization Play In Maintaining Oily Skin

To understand the role of moisturization for oily skin, one must know the importance of hydration. For those unaware, hydration binds water molecules to the skin, ensuring its soft and supple appearance. Moreover, hydration extends several other benefits to the skin, from upholding the lipid barrier to improving texture and everything in between. But for oily skin, adequate hydration ensures a balanced microbiome. Here’s how -

Oily skin is characterized by overzealous sebaceous glands.

When oily skin runs low on hydration, these oil glands go into overdrive mode – leading to more greasiness. Here’s where moisturizer comes into play. It creates a protective layer on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. It preserves your skin’s hydration to ensure a balanced microbiome.

So, What Moisturizer Should You Use For Oily Skin?

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, we recommend using a moisturizer with the following

A gel base: Cream-based formulas can make your skin feel oilier in general. Moreover, it can clog pores, leading to blackheads, whiteheads or even acne. We recommend using a gel-based formula that melds into the skin without leaving residue behind.

A non-comedogenic value marker: Since oily skin is more prone to clogged pores – always remember to check the non-comedogenic value marker on the product label.

Soothing ingredients: Oily skin often gives rise to unwanted breakouts. To soothe inflammation and irritation, we recommend moisturizers with Betaine, Hyaluronic Acid, Alpha Bisabolol and Niacinamide.

Potent humectants: Look for a moisturizer that contains hero humectants like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, and Betaine, which help double down on hydration.

How Often Should You Moisturize Oily Skin?

Oily skin demands moisturization twice daily. Use it in your morning and nighttime skincare routine for best results.

Moisturization At Night Won’t Let My Oily Skin Breathe

Your skin doesn’t breathe, PERIOD – it is a myth. When you are sleeping, your skin is its most productive. It sheds buildup to carry out repair and regeneration activities. An oil-free moisturizer helps maintain maximum hydration in the skin for cellular renewal. Moreover, the lipid or skin barrier is most absorbent at night and loses moisture molecules dramatically. This calls for a moisturizer at night too.

2. Not Enough Hydration: Your skin’s overactive sebaceous glands don’t compensate for the lack of hydration. That’s right! Hydration is important for oily skin as it helps regulate sebum production – administering a more balanced microbiome.
