Oily Skin Type

If you have oily skin, it’ll be shiny and greasy with large, visible pores. The level of shine will typically increase around midday and the oil will affect your previously flawless foundation. You’ll also be prone to inflammatory acne; pustules and pimples, as well as non-inflammatory acne, like blackheads and whiteheads. Oily skin can also be prompted by any form of hormone change.

Why it’s oily: Our body produces a natural oil called sebum to help maintain soft and supple skin. If too much sebum is produced, it sits on your skin’s surface resulting in blocked pores and a greasy appearance. The overproduction of sebum also means that your pores are larger as it causes the follicles to expand.
