Oily Skin Care Routine

Who loves oily skin when it gives you a greasy unattractive look? It is tough when you are already fighting for clean and clear skin.

Oily skin can take you through tough times as the sebaceous glands are over-active, producing excess sebum, contributing to a shiny, greasy-looking face and skin concerns such as acne, blackheads and whiteheads, enlarged or clogged pores etc.

You arrive at the venue and go to the restroom, only to see that your makeup is already running down your face.. Annoying, I know.

Shiny and greasy look — If we have curly hair, we spend hours straightening it. If we have straight hair, we wish it had more volume and curls.
