JAKARTA - If you have oily skin or tend to acne, moisturizers still play an important role in your skincare routine. Oil on the skin and hydration of the skin is not the same thing. And the skin can be oily as well as become dehydrated. The use of moisturizers can help balance the loss of fluids due to environmental factors, such as cold weather, or other causes. Then what are the benefits of using moisturizers for oily skin?

Sebum balance and healthy water on the skin improve and maintain the health of the microbiome. Which if disturbed can cause skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and acne. Because oily skin produces excess sebum compared to other skin types. Implementing it with a formula rich in humectane can help maintain the overall oil balance significantly.

Loss of transepidermal water (the amount of water that evaporates passively through the skin into the external environment) in all skin types can cause discomfort and make the skin vulnerable to inflammation and severe drought.

On oily or combinational skin, this can be characterized by a strong feeling, but the skin remains oily and sticky on the surface. In such situations, dehydrated skin gives a signal that it requires moisturizing. By using the right moisturizer, you can provide important hydration on the skin, so that the skin feels comfortable and fresh again.

Strateum konneum (generally understood as skin barrier) strengthens the skin and protects it from environmental damage, prevents skin problems such as dermatitis and inflammation. Melting the skin not only reduces drought but also helps maintain healthy homeostasis of the skin.

Adapted from Pinkvilla, Thursday, October 3, research also shows that hydration improves skin texture. With the use of regular and correct moisturizers, you can watch the skin become much finer and its appearance improves overall.

It is widely known and experienced that oily skin is prone to acne. So that people with oily skin and prone to acne avoid the use of moisturizers for fear of worsening conditions. However, research shows that appropriate skin hydration has a deep effect on reduction, prevention, and acne treatment.

Dr. Sravya C Tipirnenni, Head of Consultant Dermatologist & Cosmetrician at Manipal Hospital, said oily skin moisturizers can help reduce excess shine. It may seem opposite to intuition, but oily skin still requires hydration. Light and oil-free moisturizers help regulate sebum production and prevent skin from producing oil excessively to offset the drought.
