Pick the right moisturizing product for oily skin

Because oily skin is prone to acne, you might get tempted into skipping this step but that is your mistake.
If you have oily skin, then you need a suitable moisturizer that will suit your skin type and provide hydration. Opt for an oil-free moisturizer that does the job without making your skin too greasy.
