What Is Oily Skin?

Oily skin can be very hard to control because it is the result of genetically determined hormonal changes in your body, and you simply cannot control hormones topically. However oily skin tends to age better and is less prone to developing wrinkles, fine lines, and a sallow complexion.

How do you know if you have oily skin?

Here are my clear indications that you have oily skin:

  • Visible and enlarged pores
  • Your face is shiny only an hour or two after cleansing, and usually appears greasy by midday
  • Your makeup doesn’t seem to stay on your face
  • The more oily areas of your face have blackheads, white bumps, or acne
