Oily skin can cause various skin problems such as blackheads, shiny skin, makeup that does not remain in the face and of course acne vulgaris. Although there are other causes, oily skin is the most likely.
Many OTC (over-the-counter) products are made to treat oily skin, but contain harmful chemicals. Sometimes oily skin care products end up leaving the skin dry and rough, which actually gives you another set of problems for skin care. Some products upset the delicate pH balance of skin tone or skin, not to mention the chemicals in these products are very strong and level can not be safe to use regularly.
