Frequently asked
Common questions.
Should I skip moisturiser if I'm oily?
No. Skipping triggers compensatory oil production. Use a gel-cream texture.
Can moisturiser cause breakouts?
Wrong moisturiser yes. Avoid coconut oil, palm oil, isopropyl myristate. The picks above are non-comedogenic.
How much moisturiser should I use?
Pea-sized. Most clients over-apply, then complain of breakouts.
