What Causes Oily Skin? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sebum, the oil on your skin, comes from the sebaceous gland found in hair follicles. Because your face has more tiny hair follicles than the rest of your body, it can get pretty oily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just how oily your face is depends on some other factors. Genetics often plays a role, with some complexions naturally producing more sebum than others. Other causes of excess oil include stress, hormones, diet, medications and oil-based skincare products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ups and Downs of Oily Skin <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having oily skin isn’t always a bad thing. Sebum can keep your skin moisturized and less likely to wrinkle prematurely. Plus, it can give your whole face a healthy glow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there can be too much of a good thing. Oily skin tends to attract dirt easily and can leave your pores highly visible. Excess oil also makes your skin more vulnerable to blackheads and inflammation \u2014 which can mean breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
