Recently, I was asked about moisturizers. Many women with oily skin, or women moisturizing in the middle of summer, find their skin feeling greasy most of the time. There are several ways to avoid the greasy effect when moisturizing.
#1-If you have oily skin: Do you have problems with shine in the middle of the day? You probably have oily skin. Skip the moisturizer and use a primer! Or if you are stubborn like me and feel the need to use a heavy moisturizer with sunscreen, use blotting pads in the middle of the day to dab off excess oil.
#2-If you have dry skin, but find your moisturizer leaves an oily sheen: Use an oil-free moisturizer! A great buy is Mac Oil Control Lotion. This moisturizer is oil-free and dries to a matte finish leaving your skin fresh for makeup application or bare for a natural look.
#3 My skin feels oily any time of the year: Exfoliate! If your skin is always feeling greasy, you may not be cleaning your skin well enough. Use a good facial cleanser and exfoliate regularly (at least once a week).
