Top 5 Facial Masks For People With Oily Skin

Do you belong to the category of people that have oily skin? If so, you must know how difficult it is to manage a skin type like that. The greatest disadvantage of having oily skin is that the oil can clog pores. These clogged pores ultimately result into the formation of acne. People with oily skin cannot skip a day without washing their face. It is also believed that a person with oily skin has a natural glow to their face, but this goes more than just a "glow". The face feels dirty and greasy which is irritable in the long run. Since, the oil on the skin attracts more dust particles than dry skin does.
