Understand Your Skin Types
Oily Skin
How do I know if I have oily skin?
Oily skin types tend to be individuals who fall under the age groups of 15 – 25 years old, excessive oil shine occurs on almost every part of the face. In most scenario the oil glands on the face are simply naturally more active but in general well hydrated. Another method to identify oily skin is when you also have an oily scalp as the scalp and facial skin are largely similar.
What should oily skin types look out for?
Mattifying products are commonly used by oily skin types to counter the excess oil production, hence gentle exfoliation is recommended so that there are less instances for dead skin to build up and result in clogged pores, which then lead to acne occurrence.
While oily skin types tend to rely on drying cleansers or clay masks to strip the skin of excess oil, take extra care not to do so too often as it may result in dehydrated skin. If your skin feels tight after using a foaming cleanser, you might instead belong to the dehydrated skin or combination skin type.
