Oily skin can be caused by a number of factors: genetics, diet, stress, and climate being a few. At its core, though, oily skin is the result of increased sebum production, which can lead to clogged and enlarged pores. So while a little extra shine might not be the bane of your existence, the change in your skin’s texture isn’t ideal. The good news is you can make skin appear less greasy by using the right products (and, of course, avoiding the wrong ones).
