When searching for the best oil free anti-aging facial moisturizer, you will want to pay attention to the ingredients on the label. The reason is that not all oils are bad for your skin, but many commonly used ingredients are. You will want a product that is non pore-clogging, or “non-comedogenic”, as it is called.

Certain natural oils are actually wonderful for your face as a moisturizer, even if you are looking for something that is oil free because you are battling acne, rosacea, or oily skin in general. In fact, just because you suffer from one of these conditions doesn’t mean you don’t need some of the anti aging and anti inflammatory properties of a good moisturizer product. You just have to understand what to look for.

First of all, you will want to avoid any oil that is petroleum based. Mineral oil or lanolin, for example, are known to cause breakouts in some people. Mineral oil is a common ingredient in many products because it is inexpensive, but it actually isn’t good for you. There are many superior natural moisturizers and emollients, especially for those looking for an oil free product.

One thing to look for is Babassu oil or wax, a very lightweight ingredient that is easily absorbed into the skin, without any pore-clogging activity. It comes from the Babassu palm from the Brazilian Amazon, and it has been used for centuries to soothe skin. It works great on oily complexions as a gentle moisturizer. This all natural ingredient has many wonderful benefits.

An excellent emollient is Maracuja passion fruit extract. It contains a natural essential fatty acid that revitalizes and restores a velvety soft complexion. It’s also known to regulate the production of oil or sebum. This is a great choice for an oil free product.

When it comes to anti aging moisturizers, you will also need some ingredients that both protect from further damage, as well as boost the growth of new collagen and elastin. These are the two proteins that are important for a youthful complexion, with firmer texture. Antioxidants battle free radical damage, which are responsible for wrinkles, age spots, and cellular damage that causes aging signs to appear. One of the best ingredients for regeneration of collagen and elastin is XtendTK, and one of the best potent natural antioxidant ingredients is Phytessence Wakame. For a dramatic anti wrinkle ingredient, look for Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10. All of these anti-aging moisturizer ingredients have been proven in scientific studies to reduce or reverse common signs of aging.

The next time you are shopping for an oil free anti-aging facial moisturizer, just read the label carefully. I prefer using all natural ingredients that are safe. Don’t avoid moisturizers and oils just because you have acne or oily skin, just be sure to get the right ingredients that will work for you.
