Are you sick and tired of having your face feel like an oil slick? Frustrated with trying to find an oil free moisturizer product that's effective?

Unfortunately, there are far too many moisturizers out on the market that contain oil…oil that is simply not good for the skin. So when searching for an oil free moisturizer product, all that needs to be done is to educate yourself on the ingredients and learn what is bad and good for you.

Let's start off with an ingredient found in many skin care products that is simply bad. No wonder your face feels like an oil slick, the ingredient found in various products is called "mineral oil" — a byproduct of petrolium production! Want to know a bit more about this ingredient?

Mineral oil can go by various names like paraffin wax, petrolatum, and yes…baby oil. Don't be fooled because it's used as cheap filler in skin care products. Even though it feels like it's moisturizing your skin, in actuality it interferes with normal perspiration, clogs pores and prevents skin from eliminating toxins.

Let's skip to the good ingredients to familiarize yourself with when looking for oil free moisturizer products. However, because there are many non pore clogging natural oils that are extremely beneficial for your skin, you should have the run down on them.

No need for you to keep looking for "oil free" on the label though, there are excellent "natural oils" that are clinically and scientifically proven and safe to use on your skin. They're also great for your skin's health and best of all…no greasy feeling.

Here are some of the safe, effective natural oil ingredients that are found in high quality moisturizer products:

1. Avocado Oil: An oil that has properties that are deeply hydrating. Highly compatible to your skin's own oils, and a powerful antioxidant (counters free radical damage to skin cells). Also, there are high levels of: chlorophyll, vitamin E and omegas 3 and 9 to improve the health and vitality of your skin.

2. Grape Seed Oil: This oil is another powerful antioxidant. It creates an invisible film on your skin to keep in moisture. It's especially effective for repairing skin around the eyes, and has also been shown to reduce stretch marks. Contains natural vitamin E, and is rich in linoleic acid and several other essential oils which are necessary for skin health.

3. Macadamia Oil: A luxurious oil which is easily absorbed into the skin and is proven to protect the skin cells from aging. It has the ability to penetrate damaged skin, replenishing oils lost during the day. It contains palmitoleic acid, an essential oil which has long been known as beneficial to the skin.

The last ingredient that is not an oil free moisturizer ingredient but has an incredible anti wrinkle effect is Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10.

4. Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10: Everyone has heard of CoenzymeQ10, however, this ingredient is a special 'nano-emulsion' form of CoenzymeQ10. It penetrates down through 7 layers of skin. The special nano-emulsion form of exceptional antioxidant properties gives it the ability to counteract free radical damage and when applied to the skin, therefore Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 can produce quite a dramatic anti wrinkle effect (shown in scientific studies) because of its ability to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin.

Now that you are armed with this information you won't feel so frustrated when trying to find an oil free moisturizer product.
