Finding the best moisturizer for oily skin can be surprisingly difficult. Many moisturizers feel too heavy, leave behind a greasy layer, or make the skin look shiny within a few hours. My skin tends to feel much oilier during the summer months, especially around my T-zone. However, when winter arrives, the cold weather often leaves my skin feeling dehydrated and tight, making me reach for more hydrating skincare products. Because of these seasonal changes, finding a moisturizer that provides hydration without feeling greasy has always been a challenge for me. For the longest time, I believed moisturizers were making my skin oilier. Every time I apply a cream, my skin would look shiny within a couple of hours. So, like many people with oily skin, I started skipping moisturizer altogether. Unfortunately, that only made things worse. My skin would initially felt dry but became even oily and sticky later in the day. That's when I understood that oily skin requires the same amount of hydration. Instead the right moisturizer matters to make it feel hydrated and healthy for longer period. This is where Foxtale Oil Balancing Moisturizer* caught my attention.
