If your lotion makes you shiny → it’s wrong for your skin.
Oily skin needs water hydration, not oil coating.
💧 Choose Smart Hydration
Look for labels:
Oil-Free
Non-Comedogenic
Water-Based
Top ingredients:
💦 Hyaluronic acid = deep hydration
🌱 Niacinamide = less shine
🫧 Glycerin = moisture without clogging pores
🧊 Aloe = calm + fresh feel
🚫 Avoid These (They Trap Oil)
Heavy butters
Coconut oil on acne-prone areas
Petrolatum/mineral oil
Thick occlusives
These = clogged pores ➜ breakouts ➜ dull skin.
🌬️ Go Lightweight
✔️ Gel lotions
✔️ Water gels
✔️ Oil-free moisturizers
These absorb fast, leave no residue, and feel breathable.
🧴 Secret Weapon: Niacinamide
Balances sebum

💡 Bottom Line
Oily skin isn’t the enemy.
Wrong lotions are.
Choose hydration → not oil → and your skin will stay soft, matte, and clear.
