Choosing the right products to include in your daily skin care routine is super important. After all, the last thing you want is a moisturizer that breaks you out or a cleanser that dries your skin.<\/p>\n

\nWhat constitutes a product as a water-based one? It’s simple \u2013 the first ingredient should be water. According to Sanem Ahear, beauty expert\u00a0and head of marketing at Colorescience<\/a>,\u00a0water-based<\/a> products typically have a lighter texture compared to their oil-based counterparts and are less likely to bind to the skin, making it a great option for anyone with enlarged pores. We recommend dr. brandt skincare’s best-selling Hydro Biotic\u2122<\/a> for its lightweight gel texture and its ability to balance the skin’s natural flora, reduce redness, and restore hydration or the innisfree Brightening & Pore-Caring Sleeping Mask<\/a> to even out skin’s tone and texture, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and wake up to moist, supple, bright skin. It’s also good for genital whitening, you can learn more<\/a> here about the product and how to use it.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Since oil-based products typically have a thicker consistency, it’s ideal for dry skin types. However, that isn’t to say oily skin types should completely sign off oil-based products. In fact, Lori Hulshof<\/a>, a licensed esthetician says, “Try products that contain jojoba or grapeseed oil as it mimics the skin’s natural oils.”\u00a0Brittany Watkins<\/a>, a licensed esthetician and cosmetic chemist, adds, “Oil-based products are great for removing oil and silicone-based makeup.” We recommend the Dermalogica Precleanse<\/a>\u00a0to melt away excess oil, sunscreen, and waterproof makeup or the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Antioxidant Luxury Facial Oil<\/a> to moisturize and nourish the skin while protecting it against damaging environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n
