I used to hate applying moisturizer because it makes my face sticky and oily. Ugh, don’t you just hate that icky feeling? Especially in this humid and hot Manila weather, it would be like you’re set to fry an egg with the amount of grease on your face come midday! But then again, skipping this important skin care routine is not advisable. Regardless if you are oily/combination or dry skin, DO NOT COMMIT the beauty sin of not applying your daily fix of facial moisturizer! By moisturizing daily, you can prevent the overproduction of sebum because it will regulate your oil production.
If that greasy/oily feeling is what bothers you the most, then check out what I recently discovered! An oil-free moisturizer — iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream.
It is a water-based moisturizer refined by Bio-Nanotechnology, making it more potent to give your skin a more radiant and fairer complexion. See the photo below for more product info, directions for use, and ingredients.
Active ingredients like Mulberry Root Extract helps in cell regeneration; Panax Ginseng Root Extract helps remove scars; Aloe Vera soothes the skin and protects you from sunburns, inflmmation, redness and other allergies; and Green Tea Leaf Extract contains anti-bacterial agents that suppresses acne-causing bacteria.
As you can see in the photo above, the consistency is very light. It’s actually my first time to encounter a moisturizer that is water-based and turns into water once spread out… I find it amazing! This makes it non-greasy and non-sticky! It’s my go-to moisturizer as of lately. I love the refreshing and cooling sensation whenever I apply this. However, this does not offer coverage like a tinted moisturizer does, so make sure to apply foundation or face powder if desired. I also hope it has SPF component, but other than that I do not see any other downsides to this moisturizer. Do try this out if you’re looking for oil-free and water-based moisturizer that is easy on the pocket. :)
