7 Reasons Why Oily Skin is Not That Bad!

Hey babes!
Puzzled on reading the title? Well, I know it’s pretty hard to believe that having oily skin can actually be advantageous! But it comes with a lot of benefits that often go unnoticed. People try to get all the oil off their faces, but OIL is indeed a great way to have beautiful skin, as it helps you against a number of damaging environmental factors and conditions. Want to know how?

7 Benefits of Having Oily Skin

1. Keeps you looking younger: I’m sure you are all aware of the fact that dry skin tends to age faster than oily skin. This is because all the fine lines, wrinkles are camouflaged with the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the natural oils on your face, while dry skin is more prone to aging. The sebum acts as a protective layer against the dust, pollution, harsh UV rays and other environmental factors, all due to the presence of Vitamin E. So, if you have oily skin, consider it to be a blessing in disguise!

2. Works as a natural moisturizer: That sebum you fret about is actually 100% natural, and works as a cream and moisturizer. Your skin will be baby soft and smooth all due to those natural oils, as it keeps all the dryness at bay and keeps it protected against all the pollutants!

3. Keeps you sun protected: Oily skin works great as a sunscreen too; however, I’m not trying to imply that you do not have to use sunscreen anymore. The more you keep it protected against the harmful sunrays, the better. However, that sebum on your skin will keep it protected, as oily skin tends to have a lesser impact of the sun’s rays!

4. Bye bye pollution: This is probably one of the best advantages of possessing oily skin, as it keeps pollution miles away by not letting the dust and bacteria settle on the face. You can wash your skin on and off to decrease the chances of skin damage.

5. Keeps your skin hydrated: Sweating a lot means, consuming more water; this indirectly results in hydrated skin! Wet wipes can be used to reduce the chances of breakouts and acne, by keeping all the dust and grime away! Also, drink plenty of water, as much as you can manage, as it will lead to a hydrated and moisturized skin at the end of the day!

6. Gives you a natural glow: Yes, we all go crazy splurging on expensive products just to fake that glow! Glowing skin is so IN at the moment, but little did you know that the key to that glowing skin is actually that oil on your face! And the best part is that you get it free of cost!! Taking good care of your skin will ensure that you have that dewy, youthful skin.

7. Will make your make-up last: Another reason why you must “JUMP WITH JOY” on having oily skin is that your make-up will be stay on for longer periods; this is because the oil holds the foundation on your skin well and makes it last longer.
