Does Dewy mean Greasy?

In my perusal of all things moisturizer, I came across the post at http://truthinaging.com/face/kaplanmd-day-cream-spf-15-and-replenishing-night-cream-reader-reviewed . In her review of Kaplan night cream, i found this gem:

“The Replenishing Night Cream is clearly a richer lotion and I credit it with rescuing my dried out winter skin. These days, however, as the oil glands go into overdrive for the summer, I think I might back off from its use. One night as I was preparing for bed, my wonderful husband who never provides an honest opinion on my appearance because he always tells me I look beautiful to him (horrible guy, huh?) came in just after I had applied the night cream. I explained that I was having such a difficult time reviewing some new products and asked if he thought my skin had that “dewy” look to which he replied, “Uh well if dewy means greasy, then yes.”

This made me laugh. The sudden honesty of the husband was refreshing if not helpful. But it does underscore the importance of choosing oily skin specific products if that is a problem you have. You don’t want to exacerbate already oily skin even if the ingredients are good for the skin in general. There are plenty of oily skin centered products on the market. It is even doubly more important if you struggle with acne issues. Too many of the general products will clog the inflamed pores and made a bad situation worse.
