🔍 What Is It?

Oily skin is one of the five main skin types. It means your sebaceous glands are producing more oil (aka sebum) than necessary. While some oil is essential to keep skin healthy, too much can lead to clogged pores, shine, breakouts, and texture issues. The goal isn’t to strip the oil—it’s to balance it.

 

🧪 Causes & Symptoms

Oily skin is usually genetic, but it can also be triggered by environment, hormones, or product misuse. Contrary to popular belief, oily skin can also be dehydrated—and trying to dry it out often makes it worse.

Common Symptoms:

Clogged or enlarged poresShiny or greasy appearance

Frequent breakoutsMakeup won’t stay put

Thick or rough textureBlackheads or whiteheads

Oiliness by middayAcne-prone areas

Why It Happens:

CauseDescription

GeneticsSome people just naturally produce more sebum.

Hormonal shiftsAndrogens (like testosterone) increase oil production.

Weather & humidityHeat and sweat increase oil production.

Stripping productsOver-washing causes skin to overcompensate with more oil.

DehydrationSkin lacking water tries to make up for it with oil.

Comedogenic ingredientsPore-clogging oils or butters can worsen symptoms.

 

💖 What It Needs

Your skin doesn’t need punishment—it needs balance. Focus on lightweight hydration, oil regulation (not elimination), and gentle exfoliation to keep pores clear and skin happy.
