A common misconception is that oily skin is already moisturized and needs no extra care. In reality, oily skin can be dehydrated yet still produce excess sebum. When lacking moisture, skin may release more oil to compensate, making the condition look worse.
Why oily skin still needs moisture
Sebum and hydration are two different things. Sebum is oil on the surface, while hydration is water within the skin. Oily skin can have excess sebum yet still lack water, causing tightness and dullness.
How to choose products for oily skin
- Choose light gel or lotion forms, free of heavy oils
- Look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin
- Avoid thick creams that may clog pores
- Use a moderate amount, spread on damp skin
