Natural Skincare Routine For Oily Skin: Everything You Need To Know

Everyone's wish is to have a fresh flaunt face all day long. But people with oily skin have greasy and unattractive faces. Usually, an oily face completely removes off all the freshness and gives you various skin problems. Oily skin can clog your pores and lead to acne problems, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. By following a natural skincare routine you can keep your oily skin glowing up all day.

WHAT MAKES YOUR SKIN OILY

People with oily/acne-prone skin - Do you know that your skin is a source of natural oils?. Yes, naturally your skin has oil-secreting glands called sebaceous glands. The oil secreted by these glands helps to lock the moisture content on the skin and also to keep the skin well hydrated. But too much secretion of oil leads to oily skin.

Oily skin is a genetic one and it also results from other factors such as hormonal changes, stress, and sometimes weather/environmental changes too. Excess oil causes pores to enlarge, oil can combine with dead skin cells and bacteria on the skin's surface and causes breakouts.
