The overactive sebaceous glands found in oilier skin types are the reason behind this; they are overcompensating in their production of oil. That\u2019s why wrinkles are shorter &amp; shallower in those areas of your face where your sebaceous glands are overproducing oil: the abundance of oil is actually what makes your skin stronger and more elastic.<br><br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"905\" class=\"wp-image-37200\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"NINI Organics - Natura Range (Acne-Prone Skin)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-scaled.jpg 2388w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-531x640.jpg 531w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-1061x1280.jpg 1061w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-1274x1536.jpg 1274w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-1698x2048.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-720x868.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-800x965.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NINI-Organics-Natura-Range-Acne-Prone-Skin-849x1024.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br><center><em><a aria-label=\"NINI Organics - Natura Range (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzngy.com\/nini-organics-natura-detox-range\" target=\"_blank\">NINI Organics &#8211; Natura Range<\/a><\/em><\/center><br><\/li><li><strong>Youthful appearance<\/strong><br><br>Where you might think of your skin as appearing too oily or even \u201cdirty\u201d, your skin looks dewy &amp; youthful to most people.

The oil that is naturally produced by your own skin contains oleic acid, which protects your skin from bacteria &amp; infections.
