    Question moisteriser makes me sweat.. i know gross, right!!

    as the title indicates, moisteriser makes me sweat, not so much sweat, but makes me sweaty - if that makes sense.
    especially if i out it on my face, i have to go and wash it of coz i perspire on my top lip and its just gross.
    Ive tried all kinds of moiteriser, was wondering if anyone could help me? or who has the same problem and knows how to fix it?

    I have the same thing... it seems to be mainly when it's hot and/or humid. I just tend to avoid moisturising when it's like that. Would love to know if someone can fix it, though!

    hey hun... not 100% sure but maybe the product your using is to oily for your skin and its clogging your pores IYKWIM.
    i found the same problem when using certain foundations i got told to dab baby powder on my face, havent tried it though as my new foundation is great!!

    Good luck tho

    It happens to me too. And I usually forget about what happens when I do moisturise, only to remember when I feel like all gross & sweaty later in the day/evening... and of course it is usually when I am talking to someone.

    My product range has a moituriser called moisture control, made specifically for people who sweat or get oily skin. Its light weight and designed ti hydrate without leaving a film and help contorl excess moisture on the skin.
    Great for young or teenage skin too
    You probably just havent found the right type for your skin.
    PM me if you want and I can post out some samples

    I have the same problem - I found that I have to use an extremely light moisturiser. I also find that it is often better to moisturise at night and not during the day.

    There is a very very light Loreal one that is worth a try.
