Best Moisturizer for Acne Prone Skin

Our skin’s abilities are more than we can imagine. If we gain weight, we can watch it stretch. When we lose off that weight, we can watch it revert to normal. Our skin has the ability to protect itself from UV damage (tanning) and even has the natural ability to retain moisture.

Unfortunately, as age creeps up to us, several factors will cause your skin to gradually deteriorate. As we start to grow older, our skin will need some help to retain its elasticity and youthful appearance.

Did you also know, when we wash our faces, we not only strip our skin of the dirt and impurities, we’re also taking away it’s natural oils. To replenish the moisture in your skin, it is important to choose the right moisturizer and serum for your skin type.

Moisturizers act as a protective barrier on your skin’s surface. Without it, moisture will evaporate continuously from your skin and increase the ageing process. Hence, it is essential to add moisturizers and even serums, into your skin care routine. This helps to seal the hydration and boost your skin’s repairing and renewal process as you sleep.

Tip: Apply moisturizers over damp skin (before your serums or essence reach into your skin) to lock in the moist moisture.

Myth #1: Moisturizers should not be applied on acne-prone skin

For those with acne-prone skin, you might be wondering – won’t moisturizers make my oily skin worse? The answer is no! You shouldn’t avoid using moisturizers as oil and water are two separate things. In fact, dehydration will result in your skin producing even more sebum! Believe it or not, your overactive sebaceous glands are great for your skin’s moisture levels. Aim for oil-free products and use a gentle exfoliator to continue cell turnover.

Tip: If your skin tends to be oily, you should look for gel-based moisturizers and light-weight serums instead of creams.
