Oily Skin

Oily skin is shiny, thick and dull colored. Often, chronically oily skin has coarse pores, pimples and other unsightly blemishes. Oily skin is also prone to blackheads.

Oily skin is a result of overactive sebaceous glands producing more oil than is needed.

It is important to give your oily skin the care it needs. You should pick a facial cleanser or face scrub that is formulated for use on normal to oily skin types.

And remember, even men with oily skin need to moisturize. Choose an oil free facial lotion to hydrate your oily skin without making it greasy.

Another oily skin treatment that is successful for many people is the use of a deep pore cleansing face mask. These are designed to remove dirt and oil from deep within the pores, leaving oily skin more matte and healthy.

TIP: If your skin is extremely oily, apply astringent frequently as needed to absorb shine.
