Now that summer has arrived, the days are getting warmer and our pores are more at risk of being clogged with sweat, dirt and of course, oil. And we all know what happens when our skin is constantly exposed to those things – those pesky breakouts come out. I totally understand how difficult it is to keep those things at bay, especially when you already have oily skin – keeping those oils at bay is just too difficult.
Though we may not be able to permanently avoid those factors that’ll cause breakouts, we can still combat them by keeping our skin healthy and balanced and one of the best ways to do that is to find the perfect moisturizer.
Yes, moisturizer. But when you have oily skin, you’re probably thinking that moisturizers will cause more oil. And oftentimes, that could lead to us skipping moisturizers and sunscreen, thinking that anything that isn’t drying up our skin is only making the problem worst.
But we are definitely wrong. Moisturizers are a must if we want to keep our skin healthy. All you have to do is to snag a moisturizer that is gel, oil-free or water-based. The lightweight formula will give you the moisture that you need without bringing breakouts and more oil with it.
To help you out, I have decided to create a list of 6 best lightweight moisturizers perfect for acne prone and oily skin. Check them out!
