Oily skin can feel like a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s said to resist wrinkles more than its dry skin counterpart, but on the flip side, it can wreak havoc on your day-to-day life (think: an oil-slicked T-zone by noon). What’s more, an oily face can serve as the cornerstone for other skin issues to surface like blackheads, clogged pores, and acne. If your slew of mattifying products and...

If tight, younger-looking skin is what you want, put “improve skin elasticity” on your to-do list. Skin elasticity is part of what gives your skin that healthy, youthful glow. But what exactly is skin elasticity, and how can you improve it? Just like a rubber band, skin elasticity is all about how structured your skin is and how well it returns to its place after being stretched or tugged, such...
