Does having oily skin mean I will be unlikely to develop premature wrinkles? That’s a question that many people ask. Well, the unequivocal answer is, “Maybe!”
Oily skin is the result of over-active sebaceous glands that produce a substance called sebum. Sebum is a natural, healthy skin lubricant that helps to keep needed moisture locked into the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. And, moist, well hydrated skin is, in fact, less likely to wrinkle and age prematurely.
Most wrinkles and the visible signs of aging, however, aren’t the result of poor moisture and hydration levels:
As time passes, natural creases in your skin are formed by repeated facial movements such as laughing, frowning and puckering. Many of us believe these wrinkles add character along with a “lived-in” look to their faces. Other people will do almost anything to reduce these fine lines that form near the eyes and mouth
Additionally, as you age, your body starts to slow collagen and elastin production. These proteins support healthy skin, and give it strength and resilience. Degradation of elastin and collagen causes your skin to look aged and wrinkled.

For a few people, premature wrinkles and aging may be inherited and simply inevitable.
There’s plenty you can do to delay the onset of wrinkles and aging:
On the other hand, there is plenty you can do to delay the onset of premature wrinkles and aging caused by the proliferation of free radicals, molecules responsible for aging and tissue damage within you.
Both UVA and UVB radiation from the sun can cause the formation of free radicals that cause skin damage including wrinkles, skin disorders, and cancer. In the dermis, UV radiation breaks down collagen much faster than normal chronological aging. Ultra violet rays from the sun damage collagen fibers and cause the accumulation of abnormal elastin. Over exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature aging.
Smoking also promotes the development of free-radicals and speeds the aging process.
Oily skin types their very own own problems:
While oily skin types may, indeed, enjoy an edge when it comes to retaining cell water and moisture, oily skin isn’t nature’s way of staving off premature wrinkles. What’s more, oily skin is not without its downsides: Oily skin is typified by shiny skin, enlarged pores, blackheads and blemishes. If your sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum, it can harden, block your pores and cause very severe acne breakouts.
The bottom line: Naturally healthy skin is the best skin you can have! So, how can you get perfect skin?
Start by implementing a daily skincare regimen. My very own skincare routine involves daily use of all natural bio-skin care products. These products from Biocutis contains a natural, biological serum that stimulates elastin and collagen production, renews damaged, dead and dying cells, and restores the ability of your skin to maintain in water from within and provides true skin moisturizing.
If your skin has been damaged by overexposure to the sun, or if your skin shows obvious indications of premature aging and wrinkles, Bio-skin rejuvination contains the same biological serum used in Bio-skin care, along with a natural Rumex extract, which reduces melanin hyper-pigmentation and a biomimetic peptide that inhibits the accumulation of melanin pigments.
