Lotion for Oily Skin

Some believe that putting moisturizer on oily skin makes it worse.  This isn't true or false but dependent on what kind of moisture it is.  Oily skin isn't different from normal skin in that you just need to be careful choosing a product made for your skin type.  Oily skin can't handle lotions for dry skin, as they will have that greasy look. For oily skin there are quite a few light and airy oil-free choices available.

One oil-free lotion that contains salicylic acid, which prevents and treats acne, is called Clean and Clear.  It moisturizes skin as well as fighting acne without causing additional problems.  Use it after treating pimples with benzoyl peroxide cream that could create dry patches.  This
is a good lotion if you  use a retinol product for your acne. You will need to use a year round sunscreen as this product does not contain one. 

Renergie Oil-Free Lotion from Lancomeis a good high end product.  It hydrates and plumps fine lines, is okay for night or day use yet it is totally free of oil.  ReVive Sensitif Oil Free Lotion is another one to think about.  It is shine free and leaves a matte
finish.  It contains the natural protein molecule EGF. It carries a SPF 15 but is not for the faint-hearted at almost $200.

Jojoba oil is one of the least expensive lotions for oily skin. The Desert Essence label sells various size bottles at reasonable prices.  It is a good cleanser for oily skin, cleanses away dirt and makeup and assists in regulating sebum production.  Finish with a thorough rinse after massing into dry skin with wet warm water.  Usually we don't think of putting oil on oily skin but in this situation it's okay.  Rub in a little jojoba oil to take care of dry patches as well if you have them.

Believe it or not use this as a good hair treatment and after-shave.
