Oily skin is a common skin concern characterised by an overproduction of sebum, the skin’s natural oil. While sebum plays an important role in protecting and moisturising the skin, excessive oil production can lead to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores and an increased tendency toward congestion and breakouts. Individuals with oily skin often struggle with maintaining a balanced complexion and may experience challenges in keeping makeup or skincare products in place throughout the day. Ongoing oil imbalance can affect skin comfort, self-confidence and the effectiveness of skincare routines. Managing oily skin requires targeted care that supports skin health without disrupting the natural barrier or over-drying the surface.
Oily skin can result from a combination of genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Genetics often influence baseline sebum production, while hormonal fluctuations—such as those during puberty, menstruation or stress—can trigger the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. External factors, including hot or humid climates, over-cleansing or using harsh skincare products, may also disrupt the skin’s natural balance and stimulate additional oil production. Additionally, dehydration or inadequate moisturisation can paradoxically increase oil output, as the skin attempts to compensate for a lack of surface hydration. Addressing oily skin requires a balanced approach that regulates oil without stripping essential moisture.
