Oily skin is distinguished by an increased amount of lipid on the skin surface produced by overactive sebaceous glands. This results in skin that has a greasy slippery texture, appears shiny and may be thick. It also may have enlarged pores. Oily skin is prone to blackheads, blemishes and acne. It affects men more than women and is quite common in adolescents and younger persons.
Managing oily skin may often seem to be a never-ending cycle. You use a product to get rid of the oil, then your skin becomes tight and dry so you use a product to moisturize, which often causes the oiliness to return. The key is using the right products to help your skin maintain the ideal amount of oil in the skin. Listed below are our recommended products for oily skin.
