I'll add anecdotally as someone with oily skin and still deals with acne in his late 30s:
Ironically the more dust I'm exposed to, like if I spend a week on a big yard project and am constantly kicking up dusty dirt and end up golden brown at the end of each day, the more under control my skin gets. It's possible that oily skin is a trait that was meant to deal with a lot more dirt and dust in the immediate environment.

When your parents are one of the stereotypical Boomers everyone talks about, then yes, you will have a hefty inheritance.

I wouldn't over romanticize the G.I. Generation. That generation was consumed by alcoholism and incredibly rampant violent child abuse. Childhoods that the Boomers grew up in, being flogged with beltbuckles while simaltaniously being told how easy they have it and how their music and more progressive attitudes toward minorities were evil and misguided. Every Boomer I've talked to either hates their parents, or at best has an extremely tenous relationship marked by stories of extreme fear.
I honestly think millennials (and I'm one of them) are at high risk of falling into the same shoes as our Boomer parents, especially when millenials start getting those large windfalls from the death of their Boomer parents. Millenials are going to look around at the growing disparity and going to be scared of losing that new money, and Generation Alphas are going to criticize us Millenials of sitting on our inheretances like dragons.

No doubt it helps, but last time I spent a week rafting in very clear sunny weather and I was still having issues. It's probably a combination because being outdoors by itself was never enough to reel it in. Same thing happened in my teens when I worked construction for a summer, would come home dusty as hell and my skin was the clearest it had ever been all summer long, but all the time I spent hours outside playing various sports had little effect on my skin.
I think I just have really oily skin.
