When you have oily skin that’s feeling a little bit dry and tight, switching to a heavier moisturizer results in hydration but at the same time can also make you breakout. Mixing a few drops of a hydrating serum formulated with hyaluronic acid into your moisturizer increases your skin’s water content (something all skin types can benefit from), adding moisture without the heaviness of an oil.
My favorite to use is Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster but brands like Kate Somerville, PCA Skin, Renee Rouleau and Dr. Dennis Gross carry similar products.
Thanks for tuning in and I’ll see you next week,

Thanks for sharing this tip! I will look for products containing hyaluronic acid. Does it have any other benefits? Thanks!
You’re welcome Cos! It will usually state hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate on the ingredient label. 🙂 I wrote an article on HA in the past if you want to find out more on this ingredient. 🙂

Hey I tagged you for My Makeup Story Tag!: https://jacquienavarro.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/my-makeup-story-tag/
Let me know if you do it, and have fun!
Will do! Thank you 🙂
I’ve been using a peptide serum by foxbrim that has hyaluronic acid in it and I’ve really noticed a different in my skin. Usually the winter can be pretty hash on my face and dry it out, but the hyaluronic acid really does make a difference, it hydrates and soothes my skin. I’m actually planning on reviewing the product soon, its really been great, I recommend it.
It is a really great ingredient! Haven’t heard of Foxbrim but I am looking forward to your review. 🙂
Foxbrim seems like a new generic alternative to the pricier serums you see out there.
Great tip!
Thanks! 🙂
