Mattify Oily Skin

Facial oil, or sebum, is produced from the sebaceous glands to protect and provide a barrier on the skin. Although oil production is necessary, excessive oil production can be difficult to deal with and maintain. Many of today’s mattifying products will help to eliminate and absorb excess oil that is being produced.
