Finding the right balance of moisture required for your skin can be a tricky matter if your T-zone area tends to be oily. While you don’t want to make your skin oilier than it naturally is, drying your face out can actually cause your skin to create even more oil to compensate for this lack of moisture. That’s why it’s very important to keep the skin moisturized (even if you think you don’t need it). Our Advanced Face Lotion is specially formulated to be ultralight, oil-free, and uses water-binding agents to hydrate and nourish skin, unlike oil-based products which can leave your pores feeling slick or clogged. We recommend that you only apply a thin layer of the Advanced Lotion on your face to keep oily areas in control. If you don’t like to put even a small amount of moisturizer on your face, we also recommend using our Advanced Face Tonic as an alternative toner, instead of a moisturizer. It’s alcohol and oil free, so it won’t dry out your face or make it feel oilier. Plus, it has several key ingredients that exfoliate and provide real cleansing. (the post-shave is also a toner but it is better to soothe or calm the skin, but will not really cleanse or remove impurities or dead cells as effectively.)
