All ABOUT OILY SKIN:-
- The sebaceous (oil) glands inside your skin produce an excessive amount of sebum leading to oily skin. Your skin requires sebum to remain moisturized but excessive sebum production causes skin blockages, which results in acne formation and shine.
Causes of Oily Skin:-
Inherited factors show that people who have relatives with oily skin will also develop it.
The production of oil within the body increases because of hormonal changes such as puberty and menstruation, together with pregnancy and stress.
Hot environs combined with high humidity will usually stimulate your glands to produce additional oil.
Excessive skin washing removes natural oils, which triggers excessive oil production from the skin.
Using creams with heavy consistency along with harsh cleansers both work to intensify skin oil production.
