Everyone’s skin is slightly different so the best moisturizer for my skin may not work so well on your skin. Saying that, there are some guidelines that you could follow to find the best moisturizer for your oily skin.

Firstly, you need to make sure that your moisturizer contains no type of mineral oil. You should also avoid moisturizers that contain any waxes or gums. Cocoa butter, coconut oil and cinnamon are also ingredients that aren’t recommended.

Secondly, you should try and find a moisturizer that doesn’t contain any alcohol. If you find a moisturizer that seems to absorb into your fingers too quickly, it will probably be high in alcohol. This needs to be avoided because it causes the skin to dry out which leads to more oil production on the future. A good moisturizer shouldn’t leave your face feeling dry.

Moisturizers that contain Shea butter or avocado extracts are good for oily skin but they’re usually more expensive.
