Oily Skin Care
Oily skin is caused by an excess in the production of sebum. Although oily skin is most common in early teens and young adults, certain people may battle continually with this imbalanced skin condition. Common characteristics of oily skin are:
- Skin appears thicker than other skin types;
- Over-active sebaceous glands which cause a shiny appearance;
- Larger, visible pores;
- A tendency towards blemishes and breakouts.
