What is The Right Moisturiser and Sunscreen For Oily Skin?

Choose Non-Comedogenic and Gel-Cream Moisturisers
For those with an Oily or Slightly Oily Skin Type, your skincare routine should include an Non-Comedogenic and lightweight moisturiser to balance and control your oil production.
Apply when your skin feels tight, especially if you are always in low humidity conditions such as in an air-conditioned office.
These gel-cream moisturisers contain lower level of oils which will not make you feel heavy but still offer the required amount of hydration your skin needs.
Look for products that contains non-comedogenic ingredients. However, watch out for Isopropyl Myristate has higher comedogenic score which should be avoided for oily skin.
Humectant incorporated at proven efficacy level helps ensure that your skin can be sufficiently hydrated without being too heavy on your oily skin.

Layering With The Right Sunscreen
For the day, pick a moisturiser and sunscreen.
As most sunscreens are formulated in an oil base, it can make your skin look shiny.
Instead, look for a lightweight gel or spray type.
Apply sunscreen each morning, even if you are staying indoors for the day. Don’t think that staying indoors protects you from UV rays.
UVA can easily penetrate through windows into buildings, cars and airplanes.
The importance of layering the right moisturiser
There is scientific evidence behind the importance of “layering ingredients?
We took a look at some studies on the active Vitamin C by Dr Sheldon Pinnell.
His research showed that when the skin is at a pH of between 2 – 2.5, it greatly increases the absorption of Vitamin C.
However, because this is on the acidic side of the scale, people with sensitive or reactive skin might notice stinging when applying Vitamin C moisturisers or serums.
The pH of your skincare products can play a major role in not only their effectiveness but also how well they interact with your skin.
So, don’t just select your moisturiser based on the benefits, you must also consider the way the ingredients react when you apply them in your skincare routine.
snowperk moisturisers are formulated at a low pH around 5-6 which is close to skin’s natural pH, therefore it is safe and effective for all skin types even sensitive skin.
