Oily Skin
If you have oily skin, chances are good you know full well that you fall into this category. People with oily skin usually have the following characteristics:
- Large visible pores
- Frequent acne (black heads and white heads)
- Visible shine, especially mid-day
- Frequent acne on other areas such as your back and chest
Oily skin is very common for people in their teens and early 20's, but for some people, it doesn't end there. While oily skin in adulthood isn't as frequent as normal and dry skin, it's not unusual to have oily skin in your 30's and beyond.
People with oily skin tend to not take care of their skin as they should because of the issues they deal with. Acne causes the majority of people to "pick" at their skin, which only brings more bacteria to the face. If acne is a problem, you shouldn't pick, pop or use harsh products on your face. You should always cleanse using a gel cleanser, and moisturize using a light moisturizer or serum. Another product that many people with acne prone skin forget is sunscreen because many products cause people with acne prone skin to break out further.
