If my skin gets too oily I tend to break out in pimples, which is why I was once rather reluctant to use skin creams and moisturizers on my face. The problem was that without using skin creams I had no way of hydrating my face or delaying the signs of aging. I did not like feeling that I had to choose between acne and wrinkles. At that time I did not realize that there was an easy solution to my dilemma. The secret to hydration when you have acne prone skin is to use skin creams and moisturizers that do not contain oil. One example of a moisturizer that does not contain oil is Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturizer Oil-free:

Skin creams like the one pictured above keep the skin smooth and hydrated without causing excess shine or blemishes. Because oil free skin creams control the moisture balance of the skin and soak up any excess oil the pores do not become blocked and cause acne pimples. However, the hydrating effect of such products soothes and comforts the skin. If you have excessively oily or acne prone skin I recommend that you use oil free skin creams and moisturizers.
