Trending-Summer Beauty: Control Oily Skin With These 11 Products
There isn’t much good to be said about having oily skin — pores are large, makeup slides off and often, despite your best efforts, an oil slick shows up by noon. Even our favorite CeleBeauties like Alicia Keys are plagued with oily skin. On the upside, oily skin does age well, so there is a bright side to having oily skin.
In the meantime, using oil control skin care and makeup that controls oil production will keep your skin looking fresh throughout the day. We rounded up a few beauty staples that we have put to the test and we love them for summer beauty essentials and year-round as well.
