5 best moisturisers for oily skin: Shiseido, Clarins, and more

PSA: oily does not mean hydrated. Keep your skin moisturised using these products

Oily skin is often misunderstood as well-hydrated skin; people with this skin type often skip applying moisturiser and fail to maintain the skin’s overall health and balance. While oily skin produces excess sebum (an oily substance that protects the skin from drying), this does not mean that the face is adequately moisturised.

The right moisturiser can regulate oil production, protect skin from harmful elements, and achieve a more radiant complexion. In this write-up, Tatler lists our top-rated moisturisers for oily skin.
