Oily Skin Tip

Don’t think that just because your skin is oily, you don’t need a moisturizer. Moisturizers help calm the skin and actually can reduce oil production. If you have oily skin, look for moisturizers made with almond, apricot kernel or grapeseed oil. Regardless of skin type, when moisturizing, pay special attention to the areas around the eyes and mouth, as they are the first to show signs of aging. Pat gently, and use extra moisturizer on those areas. — Gina DeBacker
