How To Choose Beauty Cream For Oily Skin

One of the most important things to consider when you’re looking for cream is what type and texture it offers. Three leading creams can be used for oily skin: emollient, humectant, and occlusive. The best option for people with oily skin is a cream with an emollient moisturizer to bind moisture in the air to your skin.

Emollients are also suitable for more dry and normal-to-dry skin types because they do not absorb too much oil from the surface of your skin. The two humectants mentioned earlier, hyaluronic acid and glycerin, are best for even the oiliest and acne-prone skin types because they draw in moisture from the air.

Choosing the right moisturizer for oily skin can be a daunting task. If you have oily skin, the most important thing is to find a cream that will keep your skin hydrated and will not aggravate the problem. The thickness of the cream is also important because some face creams are too thick and will end up staining your pillowcases. When choosing a cream meant for oily skin, it is not only essential to consider its emollient ability and humectant properties but also its anti-oxidant properties to prevent damage and minimize pores.

Also, if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, you should pay attention to the ingredients in creams meant for oily skin as they may be comedogenic/acnegenic. I’ve listed several comedogenic ingredients that you should be on the lookout for in your beauty products below.

Minimize the number of acnegenic or acne aggravating ingredients in your face cream. A high number of these will make your oily skin look even worse.

In conclusion, if you have oily skin, the best way to care for your skin is to choose a cream with an excellent emollient moisturizer, preferably with hyaluronic acid and glycerin that will form a barrier of moisture on top of your skin.
