Oily Skin

People with oily skin often struggle with reoccurring bouts of acne throughout their lives - even into adulthood. Oily skin is characterized by its shiny appearance, coarse texture and rather enlarged pores. Those with oily skin often complain of oily hair. They also may experience flakiness and dryness around the nose, eyes and in areas that tend to accumulate excess oils and then dry out.

Skin Care Tip: Wash oily skin regularly or as needed with water-based, never oil-based, skin care products. Also refrain from applying a nighttime moisturizer and steer clear of oily foods in your diet.
