After knowing my skin diagnosis, I started to investigate what oily skin really is and why it appears on the face of certain people. So if you also have this type of skin, keep reading, because we are going to solve all our doubts.

What is oily skin?

Oily skin is a skin type characterized by the excess of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands of our epidermis. That is, the sebaceous glands with lipid-filled cells that are located in the dermis and produce sebum to moisturize our skin (among many other functions).

However, some people have a higher number of sebaceous glands, which causes an excess of sebum. Men, for example, usually have more of these cells than women, so male skin tends to be much oilier than female skin.

Therefore, while in dry skin our skin suffers a great loss of water and lipids, people withoily skin suffer from an excessive production of these.

Acne, blackheads and blackheads: it is normal for pimples, blackheads or acne to appear on your face on a regular basis. This is also due to the excess sebum produced by your skin.

External aggressions: there are many situations that can cause our skin to produce more sebum than normal. These include stress, pollution, alcohol or drug use, for example.

Hormones: there are hormones that alter the sebaceous glands of our skin, stimulating their functioning. The greater the alteration of hormones, the more characteristics of oily skin you will observe on your face.
