Oily Skin
You Need: A moisturizer that is oil free so that you don't intensify the problem. While you want to moisturize your skin daily, those with oily skin know that shine is a given, and we're not talking about the radiant kind. Buildup of grease and dirt can cause breakouts, and pores can often be large.
You can minimize these effects and prevent excess buildup just by looking for a few key ingredients. Look for moisturizers with alpha hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy moisturizers provide slight exfoliation, which results in smoother skin. If your moisturizer contains any clay or mud products all the better, as clay has proven successful at temporarily soaking up oil, leaving skin refreshed.
