What is oily skin and why does it occur?
Oily skin is a type of skin that is characterized by having excess sebum production by the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for lubricating and protecting the skin.
In men, this is very common, since male skin has more sebaceous glands, which are the ones that produce sebum. This makes men's skin oilier, with more and larger pores, and therefore more prone to acne and impurities.
Sebum is a fatty substance that helps maintain hydration and elasticity of the skin, but when it is produced in excess, it can cause some problems such as:
- Shine : Sebum accumulates on the surface of the skin, creating a shiny and greasy appearance, especially in the T zone (forehead, nose and chin).
- Enlarged pores : Sebum mixes with dead cells, dirt and bacteria, clogging pores and making them more visible.
- Acne : Sebum and bacteria can inflame the pores, forming comedones (black or whiteheads), papules (red pimples) or pustules (pimples with pus).
Oily skin can have different causes , some of which can be controlled and some of which cannot. Among the most common causes are:
- Genetics : oily skin can be hereditary, that is, it is transmitted from parents to children. If your parents or family members have oily skin, you are more likely to have it too.
- Hormones : Oily skin is usually related to hormonal changes, which affect the functioning of the sebaceous glands. For example, during puberty, adolescence or stress, there is an increase in the hormone testosterone, which stimulates sebum production.
- Diet : Diet can also influence oily skin, since some foods can promote sebum production or cause inflammation. These include fatty, fried, processed, sugary, spicy or gluten-containing foods.
- Climate : Oily skin can vary depending on the season of the year or where you live. In general, heat, humidity and pollution can aggravate oily skin, as they stimulate the sebaceous glands and make it difficult to remove impurities.
- Life habits : some lifestyle habits can harm oily skin, such as tobacco, alcohol, a sedentary lifestyle or lack of sleep. These habits can alter the balance of the skin, generate free radicals and promote premature aging.
