Faced with shiny face syndrome? Or perhaps enlarged pores?  Oily skin is the overproduction of sebum (skin oil).  Women of color are most often affected with oily skin due to larger sebaceous (oil) glands.  Resulting with an oily or shiny appearance.

Problem: Oily Skin | Large Pores

Solution: It is thought that with oily skin, one should cleanse vigorously and moisturize as less as possible.  Although, it is the total opposite.  A gentle cleanser that is designed to remove excess oil, without creating irritation or strips the skin of it's natural oils.  Use a moisturizer to lock-in moisture.

Oil-absorbing products typically contain charcoal and/or clay, ingredients that soak up the excess oil in your skin.
