If your skin has a shiny appearance, clogged or enlarged pores, blackheads, and occasional or persistent pimples, then you might have oily skin. Oily skin occurs when there is too much sebum produced from glands in the skin.
According to The American Academy of Dermatology Association, there are several causes of oily skin, including stress, humidity, genetics, and hormonal fluctuations. When choosing products to add to your skincare routine, be mindful and select oil-free products.
Ensuring you use the correct products for your skin type is vital, so here are some recommendations for you.
