Oily skin can be caused by a number of factors such as hormonal changes, hot and humid weather, diet, age, genetic predisposition, etc. leading to excessive production of sebum.
Having an oily sheen on the T-zone, that is, the forehead, nose and chin is the most obvious sign and symptom of oily skin.
It makes your skin appear dull and greasy. However, having oily skin also has an advantage: it ages at a slower rate as compared to other skin types.
The simplest way to control this problem is to splash cold water on your face two to three times in a day in order to remove excess oil.
In addition, it keeps your skin clean, thereby reducing the chances of developing acne, blackheads, etc. Do not wash your skin too much, though, as it is likely to stimulate the production of oil.
