7 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO GET RID OF OILY SKIN

Oily skin is the result of too much sebum which can lead to clogged pores and acne growth. Genetics, hormone changes, or even stress may also increase sebum production.

In spite of these tendencies, oily skin can be clear and glowing when taken care of properly. You can do a few things to keep those oils under control without over drying your skin. Let’s get started with these 7 ways!

It tends to produce more cortisol and triggers excess oil production which can lead to oily skin, acne growth, wrinkles, weakens the skin’s immune system, and other related skin problems like  eczema, rosacea and psoriasis.
