Midday shine, clogged pores, and makeup that just slides off—oily skin has its own set of challenges. Even after washing your face, that slick feeling creeps back by lunch. Blotting sheets help, but they're not a long-term fix. The real frustration? Finding a moisturizer that hydrates without turning your face into an oil slick.
Oily skin produces more sebum than you actually need. This is often driven by genetics, hormones, or even harsh skincare routines that strip away natural oils. Ironically, skipping moisturizer makes things worse—your skin goes into overdrive to compensate, creating even more oil.
Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers are your best bet. Look for formulas that are oil-free and packed with mattifying ingredients like niacinamide, green tea, or hyaluronic acid. These help your skin stay balanced without feeling heavy or greasy. Gel-creams and fast-absorbing lotions generally work better than thick, rich creams for oily types.
Skipping moisturizer altogether is a big misstep. Another common trap is using harsh cleansers or toners that leave your skin tight—this just makes oil production ramp up. Watch out for layering too many products; sometimes less is more, especially if you’re prone to breakouts.
Lotus Botanicals offers a day cream designed for oily skin that hydrates without clogging pores or causing unwanted shine. We blend plant-based ingredients like mattifying niacinamide and antioxidant-rich green tea, and keep our formulas vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, and silicones. That means you get hydration and balance—minus the greasy afterfeel. You can see the details at our website.
1. Can I skip moisturizer if I have oily skin?
No, skipping moisturizer often backfires. Your skin may produce even more oil to make up for the lack of hydration. Use a lightweight, oil-free day cream instead.
2. Will Lotus Botanicals day cream clog my pores?
Our day cream is non-comedogenic and designed to hydrate without clogging pores. It's tested for oily and acne-prone skin types.
3. What ingredients should I look for in a day cream for oily skin?
Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and green tea extract are all great. They hydrate, balance oil, and soothe skin without feeling greasy.
4. Is SPF necessary in a day cream for oily skin?
Absolutely. Oily skin still needs sun protection. If your day cream doesn’t have SPF, layer a lightweight sunscreen on top.
5. How often should I apply day cream if I have oily skin?
Once in the morning is enough for most people. If your skin feels tight later, you can reapply, but avoid over-layering.
6. Why does my skin get even shinier after using some moisturizers?
Heavy or oil-based creams can sit on the surface and mix with your natural oils, making you look shinier. Choose gel-based or mattifying creams instead.
7. Does Lotus Botanicals use any animal-derived ingredients?
No, all our products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We stick to plant-based, ethically sourced ingredients.
8. Can I use Lotus Botanicals day cream under makeup?
Yes, the formula absorbs quickly and creates a smooth, non-greasy base—perfect for makeup application.
9. Are there any artificial fragrances in Lotus Botanicals day cream?
No, our day cream is free from artificial fragrance, which helps reduce irritation for sensitive, oily skin types.
10. How do I know if a cream is non-comedogenic?
Check the label or product description. Look for 'non-comedogenic' and avoid ingredients like mineral oil or heavy plant oils.
