Oily Skin
Oily skin is not desirable and can cause makeup to not hold well. Sebum overproduction can occur due to many factors, including computer use, exposure to pollution, and skin type. It is important to care for and improve sebum overproduction as part of a regular skin care routine.
What is Oily Skin
Our skin naturally produces oil from glands in the dermis. This oil protects and moisturizes our skin. However, too much oil can lead to oily skin. Dehydration is a common cause of oily skin, as our glands produce more oil to compensate for water loss. It’s important to address oily skin quickly for better long-term skin health.
Causes
1. Dry or dehydrated skin
Dry or dehydrated skin occurs when there is an imbalance of oil and water in the skin. To protect itself from dehydration, the skin produces sebum. Hot weather and sweating can worsen this condition by causing more water loss.
2. Hormonal imbalance
When hormones in the body are not balanced, it can lead to too little or too much secretion, causing abnormal functionality. Imbalanced hormones can cause oily skin by increasing water loss. Factors such as stress or lack of sleep can cause hormone imbalances.
3. Skin barrier damaged
Acne-prone skin often has a damaged skin barrier, causing dehydration and excess oil production. Research indicates that this skin type loses more water through the epidermis and produces more sebum than non-acne skin.
4. Food preference
Smoking, drinking, and eating greasy or spicy foods can disrupt our body’s metabolism and cause problems with sebaceous glands, leading to excess sebum production.
5. Improper skincare routine
Know what’s in your skincare products. Oils can clog pores and prevent hydration. Dehydrated skin produces more oil.
6. Poor hygiene
Clean skin is essential for good hygiene. Not cleaning properly can cause dust and pollutants to build up on the skin, leading to increased sebum secretion and blocked pores.
7. Long-term computer use
Extended computer use can cause dehydration of the skin and increased sebum production due to the electrostatic field from the monitor.
Some people have naturally oily or combination skin, while others may experience oily skin due to factors such as dehydration, overactive sebaceous glands, or diet.
Treatment
Those with oily skin can have a deep cleaning and hydration treatment to reduce sebum production and restore oil-water balance. Damaged skin barrier should be repaired followed by hydration treatment.
