Those with an oily skin type frequently have large pores, thick skin, and a bit of a shiny or greasy complexion. They are usually more prone to blackheads and whiteheads, because of excess oil production.
Although this skin type can be problematic, it also comes with some benefits. People with oily skin are less likely to develop fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
When choosing a facial moisturizer, people with oily skin will want to avoid thick creams. These can just make problems worse, and may cause acne breakouts. The best moisturizers for oily skin will be either lotions or gels. Many will provide a mattifying effect, meaning they will get rid of shine (this matte finish paint).
