December is here, along with the dry season. You’re probably already dreading the dry skin and chapped lips that comes with Harmattan and thinking of how to protect your skin from a weather that could turn really nasty.

Before we get right into it, let’s clear up one thing: using oil on your skin isn’t bad. When there is a lack of oil on your face, your skin overproduces oil to combat the lack of natural oil production. This is why people who have oily skin notice a balance in the amount of oil their faces produce when they add one oil or the other to their skincare routine. However, using oils can get a bit tricky because, if too much oil mixes with dead skin cells, you can have breakouts.

If you are prone to breakouts, you need to find a deeply hydrating oil-free moisturiser. Here are some of the best oil-free moisturisers for you to try.
