Misunderstood Truth! Oily Skin = No Moisturizer Needed? Is It True?

Many people believe that “Since my skin is already oily, I don’t need to use a moisturizer—otherwise, my face will get even greasier. But did you know? Oily skin still needs hydration! If you skip moisturizer, your skin may actually produce even more oil.

Why Does This Happen? Sebum (oil) and hydration (moisture) are not the same thing

Even though oily skin produces excess sebum, it can still lack hydration. When skin is dehydrated, the deeper layers dry out, signaling the sebaceous glands to produce even more oil.  

The result? Even oilier skin, more shine, clogged pores, and a higher chance of breakouts.

What Type of Moisturizer Is Best for Oily Skin?

  • Water-Based or Gel-Based – Lightweight, fast-absorb – Hydrates the skin without making it greasy.
  • includes Niacinamide or Green Tea Extract– Helps control excess oil and prevents clogged pores.

Never let your skin go dehydrated! Choose the right moisturizer, like MoistShield B5+ Cream, to help balance your skin, control excess oil, and reduce the risk of breakouts.
