It is more than likely permanent. Oily skin can be helped with special beauty tips. I listed a web site for reference. The positive thing about oily skin is you will age a lot less than your friends do. I just turned 40 and have always had oily skin which I have learned how to keep under control. But, I do not have wrinkles around my eyes or lips yet like all of my friends. People think I am a lot younger than I really am. So, count your blessings!

As you get older, some of the oil will dry up - but & this is a biggie! - if you have oily skin then you will tend not to wrinkle as badly as someone who has dry skin. No kidding - it keeps your skin younger looking. So even though it's a pain in the butt at times, there might come a day when you'll be glad you had oily skin!!! I know - I don't look anywhere near my actual age!

As you age, your skin will get less oily. It is hormones that cause the majority of the oil production. And to the person who told you it's permanent, IT IS NOT! As you get into your late thirties and forties, the skin tends to thin and become drier. When you get beyond that, it really gets dry, although it may always retain a miniscule amount of oil, especcially in the summer months when it is hot and humid outside. I had oily skin in my teens (very oily) and now that I am MUCH older, I look ten years younger than what I actually am. Be thankful for your oily skin!

I believe it will normally go away after your teen years, however not for everyone. I'm 50 and still plagued with oily skin. Medications and topical applications can make it better. If you also have acne, that will probably leave you even if the oily skin does not. Hang in there! It could be worse.

My mom's 64 and her oily skin is still oily (maybe somewhat less so than when she was 34, though.) The upside is that she has very few wrinkles because of it so she looks a lot younger than she is!

How old are you? I'm 37 and I had really oily skin when I was a teenager up into my 20's but then it gets better. If you have acne with it see a dermatologist and there is topical medication they can give you.

It will get much less oily beginning in your 20's. It may stay a tiny bit oily. Look to your parents and see what their skin is like...chances are yours will do what theirs did. Feel lucky though....oily skin wrinkles much later in life. It's dry skin that wrinkles early!

you didn't say how old you are. I am 45 and have oily skin as if i were a teen. The upside of it is that I won't ever have wrinkles which are caused by dry skin.
