What Causes Oily Skin?
While sebum is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier, excess production can lead to shine, enlarged pores, and congestion. This overactivity is often influenced by genetics, meaning some individuals are naturally predisposed to oilier skin types. Hormonal fluctuations also play a significant role, as increased androgen levels can stimulate oil glands and trigger excess sebum production. Additionally, external factors such as heat, humidity, and environmental stress can intensify oil production, especially in warmer climates.
Many individuals unknowingly worsen oily skin by using harsh cleansers or over-exfoliating, which strips the skin of its natural oils and causes it to compensate by producing even more sebum. An unbalanced skincare routine or the use of products not suited for oily or acne-prone skin can further disrupt the skin barrier, leading to increased oiliness and breakouts. Understanding the root causes of oily skin is essential in creating a treatment plan that restores balance rather than aggressively removing oil, allowing the skin to function properly and maintain long-term clarity.
