Wondering how to take care of oily skin? Ahh, where do we start? Greasy, oily skin is what beauty woes are made of. So, while a glossy sheen could be a gorgeous thing on your hair and nails, it’s certainly oh-not-so-appealing on your face (PS: unless you are accentuating your cheekbones with a high-voltage highlighter).The thing about oily skin though, is that there is no one definite reason for that extra slick of oil on your face. If your skin has overactive sebaceous glands, it implies you have oily skin. According to a research paper published by the National Library of Medicine, when sebum production exceeds 1.5 mg or 10 cm² every three hours, it leads to oily skin. A number of times it’s caused due to climate changes, hormones, genetics, diet, stress—or even by using the wrong skincare product.

Avoid using random products (which might aggravate your situation further) and stick to tried-and-tested oily skin products.
