Good news for the shiny-faced, you may not have to use a moisturizer at all, because your skin’s natural oils may protect it from water loss. But even oily skin can have dry patches during seasons like winter when the oil content may be adequate but since the water content is less the skin might still fell dry. You should use an oil-free moisturizer to tackle this kind of dryness. Oil-free moisturizers contain ingredients that work like oil to help seal water into your skin, without an oily feel and without causing breakouts. Though they’re not quite as thick and rich as oils, these ingredients will effectively hydrate your skin. They work espacially well if you’re prone to acne or tend to get breakouts during your menstrual cycle, because many oil-enriched products may occlude pores, leading to zits.
