Daily Skincare Regimen for Oily Skin
Our Top Picks for Oily Skin
Amber Says
"In my 20+ years of working with skin, most people fall within a few categories. All skin is aging, so I treat every skin type as though we are trying to prevent and correct intrinsic and extrinsic aging. What this means is I actively look for products that do not contain a lot of bad alcohols, fragrances and certain essential oils which can hasten the degradation of cell health as well as ingredients that protect and heal."
