Many have oil-absorbing properties in them that actually help control the oil. Oily skin needs moisturizer, because it can often be over-dried by cleansers. The body is so smart; it actually produces more oil to compensate for the over-dryness, which only makes the complexion appear greasier. A light moisturizer keeps oily skin from producing more oil and can help even out its porosity.TIP:Moisturizing your lips before applying lip color will help it go on more smoothly.For great moisturizers go to: www.marykay.com/cmitcham/skincare//moisturization/default.aspx
