Oily skin is the bane of my life, and because of that I have struggled with acne, pimples and blackheads since adolescence to way into early adulthood.

 If you're like me then cheer up! Because in this post I will tell you how to take care and give you some basic tips for oily skin, the products you should use, etc. 

I hope you enjoy this post and find it helpful! 

As you may know, oily skin is characterized by open pores and oily surface making the skin susceptible to blackheads, pimples, acne, etc. I just hate getting a pimple every time some big event comes up!

 The general oiliness of the skin is caused by overproduction of sebum  by the oil glands in the Dermis layer of the skin.

This skin type is prone to acne, a distressing condition which has an onset in adolescence, something I'm (still!)  going through, myself.  But, oily skin has one great benefit. 

Hmm...What could that possibly be...? Let me tell you!


Because of the excess natural lubrication of the skin, you will look younger longer than your friends with dry skin whom you are probably envious of right now! See? everything isn't bad about having oily skin...

How to Take Care of Oily Skin

• It is very important that you don't treat your oily skin rigorously and take drastic measure when you break out. 

• Over-cleansing your oily skin may cause your skin to dry up and your oil glands will try to compensate by secreting more sebum, which will cause your face to get even more oily.

• Now, you might be thinking, "What is the best approach to deal with oily skin?"
  The best skincare for oily skin is to use a range of gentle products which cleanse away oils, dirt and grime from your skin and unblock your pores without damaging your skin. 

• Like I mentioned in my last post, the visible, top most layer of skin requires only water to stay soft and supple so, increasing your water intake will help you with oily skin.
