π Understanding Oily Skin
If your face tends to look shiny (especially around your forehead, nose, and chin), you likely have oily skin. This skin type produces excess sebum, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts if not managed properly.
The good news? Oily skin can also age slower and maintain elasticity longer β when cared for correctly! π
