If you think skipping moisturizer will fix oily skin, it’s time to think again. While it might seem like your skin has enough natural oils, the reality is quite the opposite. Oily skin needs proper hydration too and Cathy Doll has the perfect solutions.
The Truth: Oily Skin Still Gets Dehydrated
Let’s clear this up: oil is not the same as water. Oily skin may produce more sebum, but it can still lack water, leading to dehydrated, irritated, and imbalanced skin. When your skin feels dry, it may go into overdrive producing even more oil to protect itself.
Result? Clogged pores, shiny skin, and unexpected breakouts.
This is why using a moisturizer made for oily skin lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy is a smart skincare move.
Why Moisturizer Is Essential for Oily Skin
✔ Controls Excess Sebum
Proper hydration signals your skin to stop producing too much oil, helping you stay shine-free for longer.
✔ Prevents Acne Flare-ups
Moisturizers help maintain the skin barrier and reduce inflammation key to preventing breakouts.
✔ Enhances Skin Texture
Hydrated skin looks smooth, plump, and balanced not greasy or dull.
✔ Improves Absorption of Other Products
When your skin is moisturized, your serum or acne treatments work better too.
