Skin type - Oily

An overproduction of sebum causes the skin to shine and feel oily. Although our sebum/oil creates a natural protection barrier and helps against aging, an overproducing may cause blemishes, pimples and other skin troubles.

Traits:
- shiny skin, specially at the end of the day
- large pores
- acne, pimples and black/whiteheads

Recommendations: refreshing and hydrating toners, light emulsions, gel-like creams, pore serums and clay or charcoal masks.

Avoid: heavy face oils and creams
