Oily skin is good too, guys!

[shivs]

think about it!

we are ALWAYS moisturized

we age a little slower,

if we know how to keep our oil under control, we always glow

I know it sucks that you breakout, or have a lot of clogged pores, but try listing a POSITIVE to having oily skin

add to the list!

great post, thanks for sharing!

my stepdaughter has very dry skin, I recently heard her talking to her cousin, complaining that her skin was sooo dry it was painful, felt like it was going to crack if she smiled & she said she had been putting tons of moisturizers on too! When I overheard this conversation it did make me a little grateful to never have to go through that. And I know my mom looks great for her age & I'm 34, but everyone thinks I'm about 10 years younger than I really am, so yeah, it's a good deal, it's just difficult to learn how to control it!

Are there more positives than the ones you listed? I can't think of any!

 

[SimplyElegant]

It's easier to get the dewy look?

 

[usersassychick0]

its rarely irritated or flaky like those of dry skin!

There is oily skin and then there is OILY skin.

I would exchange my OILY skin for dry skin in a heartbeat.

I know I'm a scrooge but I have no positive words for oily skin.

i have combo, and honestly my face is happier when its slightly more oily. it is always less irritated.

my mom has/had oily-combo skin and she doesnt have many wrinkles and she's over 50.

oily skin = less wrinkles, less moisturizing!

 

[SimplyElegant]

Oh, it's also more suitable for colder weather.

Uhh, I think that's about it... eh?

I always complain about my oily skin but my mom is always telling me how it looks glowy and I'm gunna be glad I have oily skin when I'm older.

Hmm so lets see..

-Less wrinkles.

-No flakes when you apply foundation.

-Less ruddiness/irratation.

-Oil control foundation + Blot sheets, and our skin looks healthy.

I have combo skin... usually it leans more towards oily but then I get like dry flakes too!!! I would rather it just be dry, to be honest... because then I could exfoliate and moisturize as opposed to being shiny like an oil slick. But no, I get the "best" of both worlds (sarcasm). Ugh, lol.

I got super oily skin from my dad's side of the family... and I have to say, for being almost sixty, my dad doesn't have a single wrinkle! Neither does my aunt, whose in her late sixties! She has a few crows feet, but that's it! Both of them look way younger than their age. So I guess I'll appreciate my skin when I'm old? :3

 

[chameleonmary]

oily skin ages slower than dry skin, yay!! the only bummer is the shine factor which can look equally worse than wrinkles sometimes!

Sorry, but that's not true - oily skin can often be dehydrated.All skin types need moisturizing IMO

 

[Colorlicious]

[Wism]

Well, at least with oily skin you can blot and get rid of the oil immediatly, but with dry skin whatcha gonna do?pick off the flakes....lol ewww...

 

[DreamFormality]
