When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it causes oily skin.

Sebum is an essential substance for ensuring the skin maintains a healthy condition. It is a waxy substance that, when produced at a steady rate, helps to protect and hydrate the skin. However, when too much is made, it can clog the skin, and lead to the development of other conditions such as acne and clogged pores.

When a person has oily skin their face may appear greasy looking, their pores may be noticeably enlarged, the skin could look thickened and pimples and spots may emerge. The condition may be inherited, but could also affect anyone at any time. The severity of the concern can vary from person to person, or experience fluctuations, with stress levels contributing to impromptu flare-ups.

Possessing oily skin can often cause a person to feel unattractive with a low self-esteem. Attempts may be made to conceal the condition with make-up, however, finding a suitable brand may prove to difficult – giving an uneven covering, and even making the problem worse.

Ensuring the skin stays in a healthy condition often means maintaining a regular routine of daily cleansing and exfoliating, helping to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and encourage healthy regrowth.
