Best Moisturizer Brands for Oily Skin in the Philippines: Stay moisturized with these picks

Looking for good moisturizers for oily skin in the Philippines? We list some of the best moisturizers you can try.

Don’t skip the moisturizer. Yes, that skincare tip is one you’ll hear from many dermatologists and beauty mavens. Aside from putting on sunscreen, the advice “moisturize, moisturize, moisturize" is one you should take to heart. But what about those who have oily skin, you say? It still matters. It’s easy to think that your skin doesn’t need the extra hydration because it has oil, but nope. While it seems counterintuitive to moisturize when you already have oily skin woes, but oily skin is not the same as hydrated skin. And you need hydrated (aka moisturized) skin because that promotes the health of your skin. Moreover, moisturizing your skin means possibly slowing down aging brought about by dehydration. Convinced yet? Here’s aour pick of the best moisturizer brands for oily skin available in the Philippines.

Three properties of good moisturizers

Very Well Health breaks down the properties of good moisturizers, which are:

  • occlusive – Keeps moisture in by forming a water-fighting film on top of the skin
  • humectant – This carries water from the dermis to the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin
  • emollient – This fills all the nooks of the skin to keep it smooth and supple. Look for emollients that are less greasy.
