Oily Skin Still Needs Moisturizer — Here's Why
By Dr. Lazuk, Co-Founder and CEO of Lazuk Cosmetics® | Esthetics® | Alpharetta, GA
This one's for everyone who skips moisturizer because their skin is oily.
Please stop.
I know it feels counterintuitive. Why add moisture to skin that's already producing too much of it?
Because oil and hydration aren't the same thing.
Oily skin can be dehydrated. When your skin lacks water content and your barrier is compromised… it compensates by producing more oil.
Skipping moisturizer… makes this worse.
What your skin actually needs is a lightweight, non-comedogenic hydrator that restores water balance without adding heaviness.
When your skin is properly hydrated and barrier-supported… oil production often regulates on its own.
The fix for oily skin isn't drying it out.
It's balancing it.
May your skin glow as brightly as your heart.
