5 Best Moisturizers For Oily Skin In Winters

Wintertime can be hard on the skin. Cold weather, wind, and dry indoor air can suck moisture from your skin. Add in the use of drying acne fighting products and medications, and you have a recipe for uncomfortable dryness, flaking, and peeling.

I had a reader’s query about this issue .So here I am doing a post as per my experience coz I also have oily skin & I have to change my skin care regime during winters.

1. Change Your Cleanser

While it may have been a great choice during the summer months, your cleanser may not be working for you now that the cold weather has set in. If you feel tight and dry after cleansing, you probably need to switch to a milder cleanser.

Cleansers containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can be particularly drying, especially if you are using them in conjunction with other acne treatment products. Instead, try using a gentle foaming cleanser or bar, such as Dove or Neutrogena. You can always go back to an acne-fighting cleanser once the weather warms and your skin doesn't feel as dry.

2. Don't Be Afraid to Moisturize

Regular use of a moisturizer is important, even for those with acne. Remember, nearly all acne treatment products dry the skin to some extent. To avoid flaking and peeling skin, moisturizer is a must even if you have oily skin like me.

Here I am suggesting 5 moisturizers for oily skin that I have tried & they never broke me out & reviewed by me (click on the link to read review)

Almond oil(this oil is a all-rounder ,I have used it as a moisturizer when I ended up with my conventional moisturizer & it helped me without breaking me out, right now I am using it as my under eye cream)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Lotion & Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream(I have tried both of them, but I always prefer to use the products specifically made for my skin type .So I think Neutrogena fine fairness lotion is great for oily to combination skin in all seasons)

Olay white radiance protective lotion (I have not used it for long but in one week it never broke me out & moisturized my skin very well)

 For moisturizing your skin you don't have to slather on a thick, greasy product. Instead, choose a moisturizing gel or lotion. They are lighter than products labeled moisturizing cream.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion (product review)

Whenever I see anything with the tea tree oil I grab it, so I got this body shop night fade lotion, shop assistant (SA) told me its good for oily skin & it can work for my blemished skin.

Price: 695 INR

Its main ingredient is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil have anti bacterial agents & which acts as a solvent. So it can stop oily matter from clogging up sebeceous glands & forming pimple.

My experience: I got it coz SA told me it’s good for oily skin& can reduce pimples & he was right .It actually reduces the size of my pimples in just one night.wowJ

It reduced oiliness of my skin leaving it soft & shine free every morning.

It absorbs in to skin & gives proper hydration to my skin.

My blemishes are lightened to some extent but didn’t disappear even after using two bottles of it. So, now I use only when I have any pimple.

Quantity: 30 ml

When I saw the bottle I thought I am going to finish it soon, but I was wrong just one pump is enough for my face .When I used it every night on my whole face, this bottle lasts for 2 months.It's with a pump dispenser , which makes it easy to use,hygenic & doesn't waste product. 

Conclusion: It's a good moisturizing lotion especially for oily skin as it controls oil & improves texture of skin. It doesn’t fade blemishes completely but controls breakout & small acne.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliating Wash

I have been using this scrub on & off .And I was not satisfied with it earlier, that's why discontinued with it. But now I am back to this .So, let me tell you my experience with this.

Price 595 INR for 100 ML.

Ingredients:

The main ingredient is tea tree as what the packaging says. Tea tree is known for its benefits to skin.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil distilled from the leaves of the melaluca plant. Tea tree extract is active against bacteria, viruses, and fungal infections. It’s used to aid in healing acne, burns, cold sores, dandruff, herpes, insect bites, oily skin, rashes, and warts.

My Experience:

I'll start with its smell which is quite soft & very natural with a little hint of mint, which is really soothing.

I have used other products from the tea tree range of the body shop & all the products smell like this. As you can see in the picture its color is also very natural, lovely green.

 As I said initially I was not satisfied & felt its totally useless coz I end up using it too much to feel like I have exfoliate my skin as it has very less granules rather very very less.

But it takes time to see a good effect. And gradually I saw its good, its working on some blackheads but on soft & new blackheads not so good for my deep stubborn blackheads.

 Its good for daily use coz it has very less granules & they are not harsh at all. I think it's good to get rid of dry skin instead of getting rid of blackheads.

It leaves my skin with a slight tingle, feeling fresh, clean and bright. I still follow-up with my everyday moisturizer, as its 3-4 degree here, but I think in the summer I’ll just be able to use this scrub and go!  I never had any breakout while using this.

In the end I would say it's worth a try as there isn’t any huge con with this scrub. Good if one have few & soft blackheads. It's not harsh to your skin & gives smooth bright skin. Good for winters as doesn’t dry my skin.

Have You Tried This ,then let me know your experience...
