Skin ageing: Oily skin is a function of your skin's sebum pores. Age spots are due to what we call dyschromia- pigment accumulating as a result of sun /uv exposure. Wrinkes happen because of loss of dermal (collagen) support at rest, and tethering to superficial face muscles if they happen during movement. Prevention is key by avoiding sun beds and uv exposure.

Dermatology Consult: Smoking cigarettes, sun bathing and alcohol consumption bring on pre-mature aging. I hope you have not been doing this. In either case, see your dermatologist to make a plan to combat this. It is a life long task. Best wishes
