Moisturizing oily skin might sound counter-productive, which is why it is even more important to choose the right product. Excess oil can be a byproduct of dehydration, so banishing the use of moisturizer from your beauty routine can stimulate oil production into overdrive to compensate for the lack of moisture—not to mention contribute to pre-mature aging .

Oily skin and acne usually go hand in hand, so when selecting a product, look for one that is non-comedogenic to avoid clogging your pores. Also look for moisturizers that include salicylic acid and glycerin. Avoid oil-based formulas and opt for water-based gels or light moisturizers instead.

Pick the best moisturizer for your oily skin from our edit to keep your face from looking like it’s been dipped in grease.
