Don't be a "big oil skin"

Where does the grease come from?

There are a large number of sebaceous glands in the skin, and the oil secreted by them reaches the skin surface through the sebaceous gland ducts of hair follicles.

If the oil secretion is too strong, the skin will be glossy and the pores will be thick, which will also create a good living environment for lipophilic bacteria, fungi and parasites, further leading to problems such as acne, black and white head and seborrheic dermatitis.

Main factors affecting oil secretion

Age and hormones

The oil secretion in adolescence began to increase, and gradually decreased with age.

Sebaceous glands are mainly influenced by androgens.

Temperature and environment

It is found that the higher the ambient temperature, the more active the sebaceous gland secretion, so the skin is oily in summer and dry in winter. Southerners have more oily skin than northerners.

Mental factors

When you are nervous, excited and stressed, sebum secretion will also increase.

Q: Will using oil-absorbing paper make your skin more oily?

A: No.

Normal oil-absorbing paper is in contact with the skin surface, only absorbing excess oil on the skin surface, and has no irritating effect on the skin.

Q: Do oily skin have to wash your face often?
