Oily skin is the most common skin type that is characterized by increased oiliness. In both men and women, it is an aesthetic defect, and sometimes indicates the presence of health problems. It is characterized by enlarged pores, as well as a tendency to form comedones and acne. Oily skin is characterized by stickiness and a characteristic shine; it has a grayish, earthy tint, as well as a thickened stratum corneum of the epidermis. More prone to breakouts than other skin types.
Patients, trying to independently determine their skin type, are mistaken for oily combination skin. Such self-diagnosis leads to the wrong choice of care products and worsens the problem. Determination of skin type should be carried out by a cosmetologist; and to assess the degree of fat content, sebumetry is used, first of all.
