Creams for Oily Skin

Oily skin still needs creams and moisturizers to stay healthy. Unfortunately, choosing the wrong lotion can leave your pores clogged and your skin feeling even more oily, warns skincare expert Paula Begoun. Choosing the right skin cream that is formulated for oily skin can keep your complexion clear, firm and nourished without overwhelming the skin.

Like all skin types, oily skin needs to be protected from the sun. Many sunscreen products can leave the skin feeling greasy, but Aveda's Dual Nature Face Protection has an oil-free finish, making it perfect for oily skin. Begoun says it contains "outstanding broad-spectrum sun protection" to help shield the skin from the sun's problematic UVA/UVB rays. She adds that the cream dries to a "substantially matte finish", making it ideal for acne-prone, oily skin.
