Ever wondered if moisturizer is really necessary for your skin type? While some skincare experts challenge the idea, let's explore why moisturizing remains crucial for most people, even those with oily skin.
Oily Skin Needs Moisture Too
Research published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology shows that proper moisturizing helps maintain the skin's barrier function. This barrier is crucial for protecting against environmental stressors and preventing water loss.
Contrary to popular belief, studies indicate that even oily skin benefits from moisturizing. When oily skin is deprived of moisture, it can trigger excess sebum production. By applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer, you're actually helping to regulate oil production.
Oil-Based Moisturizers: Friend or Foe?
| Don't let the word "oil" scare you off. Scientific analysis of natural, plant-based oils reveals their similarity to human sebum. These oils are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which have been shown to support skin health and reduce signs of aging. They are skin-friendly and won't clog your pores. This means they're readily absorbed, allowing your skin to breathe while providing nourishment. Our Frankincense & Rose Geranium Oil Serum is perfect for nourishing your skin while you sleep. |

Cleaning Your Face
