Is it okay to just completely skip out on moisturizer? I find it only makes my oily skin oilier, and my face is already slick with oil by lunch time. I'm not sure what to do really, help?

No! Never skip moisturizer especially if you have oily skin! In fact, I have oily skin and I find that using an oil as a moisturizer works best. Try sweet almond oil, argan oil or vitamin E oil. You don't have to slather it onto your face, you just need a thin layer. Putting oil on your face tricks your skin into thinking your skin is already oily enough, so it doesn't produce any more oil! Skipping a moisturizer will cause wrinkles and premature aging!

Agree with brittany, maybe try looking for a mattifying face lotion? Neutrogena has good ones. That way, your skin absorbs the healthy lotion and the makeup will sit on a smooth surface. :)

I recomend Cetaphil it works great for me and I have really oily skin.

It's fine to skip on moisturizer :) I've never used moisturizer in my life and I'm not suffering from early wrinkles or dry skin :) If it makes your skin oilier, don't bother! Xx

Try a water based moistrizer. Make sure that the package says oil free or it may make oil worse. :)
