Is it normal to have such skin?

Hello Im a 26 year old female. I would like to know if at this age just how common oily skin is. I swear ive never met anyone else this age who struggles with it. It would seem like something a teen would struggle with, not someone my age( and yes, in case you are wondering, i look like hell of a lot younger than i am)

My nose gets shiny within an hour (I work as a teller, so face to face interaction is a MUST), and im constantly having to powder my face/nose. By the end of the day, my face is oily

Not only my face, my SCALP gets super oily. So much as not showering one day, the very next morning, i can FEEL an oily scalp.I can almost sense the oil glands oozing their sebum. gross sorry guys, but im wondering if this is normal, given my age???

Shouldnt i start to see gray hair by now or wrinkles?? Is it normal to be dealing with prepubescent ordeals like this?

Is It Normal?

    Try tea tree shampoo for your scalp. My sister also gets very oily throughout the day, shes 28.

    I think it must be genetic or something, cause i dont think Diet changes help it too much.

    I have the same thing, both before and after i change to vegetarian. Just maybe not as badly now

    Hi. I'm a 29 year old female and I do have the same issue with oily face. (NOT scalp at all).

    I struggle with the oily face (specifically the nose/ T zone area) and it's quite annoying!
