5 of the best budget moisturisers for people with oily skin
IF YOU HAVE oily skin, it often feels like moisturising is a waste of time if you’re just going to end up with a big shiny face anyway.
But here’s the thing: if you don’t moisturise, your skin produces yet more oil to make up for the dehydration inside. What you need is an oil-friendly moisturiser – these are the best on offer for under €20.

This is a very light moisturiser designed for acne-prone skin that fight spots and clears away dead skin cells. It’s also a nice base for makeup. Two in one!
