Skin Quiz - Oily Skin

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands in the skin produce excess sebum, a natural oil that helps protect and hydrate the skin. While sebum is essential for maintaining healthy skin, too much of it can lead to a greasy appearance, enlarged pores, and a propensity for acne and blackheads. Oily skin can be influenced by factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, diet, stress, and the use of certain skincare products. Managing oily skin often involves using gentle cleansers, non-comedogenic moisturizers, and products containing ingredients that deep cleanse or natural oils to help regulate oil production and prevent breakouts. Regular exfoliation and trying to rebalance the sebum production is key here.
