Name the common skin type characterized by an excess of oil and large pores.

Dry skin
Normal skin
Sensitive skin
Oily skin

The correct answer is: Oily skin

Oily skin is commonly characterized by an excess production of sebum, which leads to a shiny appearance and often large, visible pores. This skin type is prone to issues such as acne and blackheads due to the accumulation of excess oil and debris in the hair follicles. Understanding oily skin is essential for selecting appropriate skincare products and treatments, which often include oil-free moisturizers and products that help to balance oil production. By recognizing these characteristics, cosmetologists and barbers can tailor their services to better suit clients with oily skin, ensuring they receive the most effective care for their specific needs.
