Vidya Anand's Answer
For dry skin, look for a rich liquid moisturiser. It is thicker and provides extra moisture needed for dry skin. Use a heavier moisturiser at night because dry skin needs extra moisture at night.
If you have oily skin, go for a water-based moisturiser. It is light and won't leave you looking like a frying pan! For extremely oily skin, choose herbal moisturisers.
They are light and assist in evaporating excess moisture.
Now that you have all the dope on moisturisers, pick one and make moisturising a part of your daily routine.
Choosing the right moisturiser is a little more complicated than choosing your favourite pastry at a cake shop. Since it is important to apply a moisturiser daily, buy one which is made for your skin type.
To know your skin type, conduct the tissue test at home. Make-up expert Clint Fernandes tells you how. . .
Wash your face. Make sure you don't use any beauty product for 30 minutes.
Take a thin tissue and place it on your face. · If the tissue sticks to your face, you have oily skin. If it slides off, you have dry skin.
But if it sticks only on your T-zone - forehead, nose and chin - you have combination skin.
