Many people pay a handsome price for skincare that is nothing more than a common base cleanser with fragrance added. There are no therapeutic benefits, and yet most men and women do not understand the science behind truly beneficial skincare. Three years ago…

All right, I know what you're thinking: "Uh, hello, it's winter, no one is seeing my body for a good five months, what do I need body-fixing products for?" But seriously, hear me out.

It might sound weird, but it's totally true: even if you have super oily skin, you should still use moisturizer.
I wish I had known this as a teenager. I, of course, had super-oily, acne prone skin and I never touched moisturizer because I was sure it would break me out more. Instead I just applied every acne product I could find and tried to dry my skin out as much as possible. Sound familiar?
The reason this doesn't work is that your skin needs some moisture and if it gets too dry, it will produce more oil to make up for it. So by drying out your skin and not adding moisture, you're actually making it oilier! (As if the world wasn't cruel enough already.)
Now, the trick is to find the right moisturizer for your oily or acne-prone skin. TotalBeauty.com readers have a few suggestions:

Now, let me make this clear: when I say "big problems," I don't mean a broken nail or frizzy hair (although those can suck when you've got an important day ahead of you, but let's get a little perspective here). No, I actually mean "big problems," the kind that aren't easily solved and may require professional help.
If you're suffering from one of these beauty dilemmas, then read on for advice. Also, in case you think I pulled this information out of my a--, er, brain, I should tell you that it actually came from these experts.

In high school, I pretty much cleaned out the acne section of my local drugstore trying to find a cure for my lovely (ha!) zits. Although I'm sure my lack of patience didn't help much (most dermatologists say you should give acne products a solid month of use to see if they're right for you), I felt like I wasted a fortune and was still left applying a mountain of concealer each day. And really, even an amazing concealer like one of these can only do so much for a face full of zits, you know?

Sure, you could spend a fortune on high-end products or prescription creams, but these will deliver the results you want for way cheaper.
