Because extra sebum is a commonacnetrigger, oily skin is also often acne-prone.
How to know if you have aging or mature skin:Technically, we all have aging skin.
Having oily hair or a greasy scalp often (but not always!)
goes hand in hand withdandruff.
Everything from the products you use to genetics to the weather can cause hair and scalp dryness.
Dry hair might look dull, frizzy, or tangled, and is prone to breakage.
Both chemical and physical (a.k.a.

A solid oral health care routine includes brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing at least once daily.
When using a manual toothbrush, a soft nylon brush tends to work best.
How you brush your teeth has a larger impact on your oral health than the brush itself.
Budget-friendly electric toothbrushes can also do the trick.

Water flossers can also be extremely useful for people with braces, bridges, or implants.
Sensitive gums may be inflamed, swollen, or redder than usual.
