Benefits of Oily Skin
Oily skin is the skin type most of us wish we didn’t have. But did you know that oily skin may actually age better than the rest?

Thanks to the boost in natural oils and vitamin E, oily skin stays smooth and less wrinkled as it ages. The extra oil acts as a natural moisturizer that lubricates the skin and minimizes the effects of sun and air pollution.

To get your best skin, avoid stripping your skin of this precious, protective oil. Wash your face twice a day max and use formulas with salicylic acid, which gently unclogs pores.
