Can skin change from dry to oily skin?

So you stocked up on hydrating products last winter because you felt you skin was dry and tight but now the sun is out and with the heat you've noticed your skin is suddenly becoming oily! What gives? First of all, it is completely normal for your skin to change with the seasons. You can be extremely oily in the summer and dry as a bone in the winter. Or you can be oily year round for years and then all of the sudden you wake up and your skin is normal. Or vice versa. The simple fact is that with time and age our skin changes.  

With summer right around the corner it is going to be hard to tell if you're sweating or if you're oily. You can tell what sets these two apart by paying close attention to the look and feel. Sweat is more of a water based dripping look. When you are oily you will notice a shine and more of a greasy feel. 

Oily skin can be caused by a number of different things, You can naturally be oily as a result of genetics,your hormones could be changing as you grow older, or you could be lacking the moisture needed for healthy skin. Sometimes when our body lacks moisture it can over produce oils as a cry for help. This rule also applies to hair, skin and nails.When your body lacks dehydrated you will be able to tell by paying close attention to one of the three. It may seem counter-intuitive to add a cream, serums or oil to your skin when you are dealing with oil; but it is very important that you are hydrating your skin, even if your skin is oily.
