Does oily skin need a moisturizer?

Question

I have oily skin. Do I still need to use a moisturizer? I'm 35 and I don't have wrinkles. I once heard that people with oily skin don't wrinkle as much because they have a natural moisturizer.. Is this true?

Answer 1

Yes, you still need Moisturizer.  You need a night time one to prevent wrinkles for night and a SPF oil control moisturizer for day.  The time is now to prevent wrinkles.  If you wait until you have them you are going to be playing catch up.

Answer 2

yeah. but if you dont want oily skin i suggest getting a green tea moisterizer

Answer 3

Is your whole face oily or just the t-zone?  As a suggestion, research on what causes definition lines or wrinkles.  Do you have oil-control moisturizer?  I'd be happy to give you more details if you like.

Answer 4

yes. but use a lightweight moisturizer that's waterbased so your skin won't be greasy. also look for hypoallergenic moisturizers, cuz that won't irritate your skin.

Answer 5

Some will tell you that if you have oily skin you want to dry it out and not moisturize but that's not really true. If your skin is oily it means that when your oil glands kick into gear they work overtime so if you keep drying out your skin, it triggers your oil glands to go to work and they produce to much oil, again and again.

It's best to keep your skin clean but well hydrated to keep your oil glands quiet.  Make sure to use a good face lotion that's non-comedigenic and oil-free.  I've used Olay, Neutrogena, and Biore products and they were all decent.  Right now I love the Aveeno products.  They have good gently cleansers and moisturizers.  

Clean your skin well but then use a good lotion.  I use Neutrogenas toner every evening after I wash my face to remove any makeup residue. It works great for that.  I use a light lotion with SPF in the morning and a cream at night that's not heavy but it's a little more hydrating.

Answer 6

You still need to moisturize, it's very important. Maybe get an oil control moisturizer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Idk about the wrinkle part but you don't need a moisturizer I would say.. you don't want to clog your skin and cause acne breakouts. They do make face lotions for oily skin though, you should check them out.

Answer 8

Oily skin still needs moisturizer.

You need to to to cleanse, tone, moisturize 2x a day. once in the morning and once at night.

Answer 10

Whatever you do, do not use moisturizer it is the worst thing if you have oily skin. what you should do is scrub ( with micro beads) morning and night and after that use a toner. Make sure all make up is washed off before hitting the sack
