Oily skin is a common problem, especially for those who live in a hot, humid climate. The combination of sweat and oil can lead to shine and breakouts, so it's important to find the right products to combat the issue. Mineral makeup is one of the best types of makeup for people with oily skin, because it's made from natural ingredients that won't clog pores or cause breakouts. Here are some great options for mineral makeup.
