  1. Yes, moisture is necessary for all skin types, especially after you clean your face. Use an oil free lotion to help prevent breakouts. You can skip the moisturizer when you use sunscreen, sunscreens are generally moisturizing enough. Just use an oil free one and you should be fine.

  2. YES! your face needs moisture! especially after using a facewash that is meant for acne. Most acne washes leave your face dry and flaky. Just make sure it’s one that’s oil free. I use the lotion from murad acne treatment.. i’m sure you could find just the lotion online or on ebay. Its really refreshing. Sunscreen has always been fine for me, but i dont go to the beach every day… so in short i think if you have an oily face you should wash it often and polish it off with a good moisturizer. Good luck!

  3. Absolutely! After washing your face, your skin is stripped of its natural oils. There are a lot of good oil free moisturizers out there and some that have a mattefier in them so that it makes your oily skin appear less oily. Clinique makes a really good one. Biore has a moisturizing foam that works well for oily skin as well.

  4. Moisturizer is for ALL skin types. Moisture equals water and anything that keeps water in your skin helps it look better and stay healthier. Use the right moisturizer for your skin type and use it after you wash your face to keep that water in your skin.

  5. Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizers. The reason why we use skin moisturizer is to hydrate or moisten the skin to prevent it from getting dry, chapped and scaly. Natural skin oil serves as the skin’s moisturizer or hydrant to make the skin soft and gentle to touch.

    Sunscreens are used to protect the skin from too much exposure to the sun. I just don’t know if they also have moisturizing or hydrating effects.

  6. Definately, you should always use oil-free moisturizer and sunscreen, and your skin will look and feel better!!!
