[Product Request] Non-sticky, gym-friendly gel moisturizer for oily but dehydrated skin?
26M here. I lift 5-6 days a week and keep my routine simple because I usually wash my face after the gym and head straight home. My skin is a weird combo: my forehead and nose get shiny, but if I go too light on moisturizer my mouth area feels tight and gets flaky.
I tried a few gel moisturizers recently and the problem is they stay tacky forever, especially once I layer sunscreen in the morning. I hate feeling like my face is sticking to my pillowcase or having residue during workouts.
What I want:
- Gel or lightweight lotion that actually dries down and is not sticky
- Little to no fragrance
- Plays well with sunscreen and sweat
- Good for oily but dehydrated skin. I don't mind humectants, but too many make me feel tacky
Current routine:
AM: gentle cleanser or just water, moisturizer I'm testing, sunscreen
PM (post-gym): gentle cleanser, moisturizer
If you have product recs or ingredient tips for avoiding that tacky finish, I'd really appreciate it.
