Rethink Your Moisturizer
If you’re tired of applying skincare products that leave your face feeling oily or clammy, it’s time to rethink your moisturizer. First, ditch your oil-based moisturizer. Yes! There are different kinds of moisturizers—lotions, creams, and ointments. For a full rundown, check out our blog on Combating Dry Skin.
Prioritize Healthy Skin
Healthy and moisturized skin requires oil and water—even if you have oily skin. If you try stripping your skin of all its natural oils, it will cause your skin to overproduce oil to compensate. Yikes! For those with extremely dry skin, we suggest applying a water cream in addition to an oil, such as Vitamin C, that will specifically target problem areas.
Self care is difficult to prioritize, so check out our blog for Easy AM & PM Skincare Routines as well as tips on Maintaining Clear Skin and fighting maskne.
Try Water Cream
For all skin types, we recommend using a cream—particularly a water-based cream—daily. Simply put, the main ingredient is water instead of oil. This lends the moisturizer an amazing, lightweight texture.
The majority of the human body is composed of water. You drink water to hydrate your body from the inside out, and you should also hydrate your body from the outside in—with an effective moisturizer.
