Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterised by an excess production of sebum from the sebaceous glands, leading to a shiny or greasy appearance. This skin type is prone to enlarged pores, frequent breakouts, and a persistent shine, particularly in the T-zone area (forehead, nose, and chin).

Types of Oily Skin

Chronic Oily Skin

Naturally oily skin due to genetics

Hormonal Oily Skin

Fluctuations in hormone levels can increase oil production, often seen during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

Seasonal Oily Skin

Changes in weather, especially during warm or humid seasons, can exacerbate oiliness.

Factors Contributing to Oily Skin

Genetics

Inherited traits can determine skin’s oiliness.

Hormonal Changes

Hormones such as androgens trigger increased sebum production.

Climate

Hot and humid weather can stimulate oil production.

Diet and Lifestyle

High glycaemic diets and stress can contribute to oily skin.

Overuse of Skincare Products

Excessive use of skin products can strip the skin of natural oils, prompting more oil production.

Effective Strategies to Manage Oily Skin

Proper Cleansing

Use gentle, oil-free cleansers twice daily to manage sebum without overdrying the skin.

Use of Mattifying Products

Oil-free moisturisers and mattifying primers can control shine throughout the day.

Regular Exfoliation

Helps remove excess oil and dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores.

Blotting Papers

Handy for touch-ups to remove excess oil without affecting makeup.

Balanced Diet

Eating a low-glycemic diet rich in antioxidants can help regulate oil production.

Hydration

Adequate water intake helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance and reduce oiliness.

Sun Protection

Using oil-free sunscreen helps protect the skin and prevent excess oil production

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes oily skin?

Oily skin can result from genetics, hormonal changes, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits.

Can oily skin be cured?

While oily skin cannot be “cured,” it can be effectively managed with the right skincare routine and professional treatments.

How often should I wash my face if I have oily skin?

It is recommended to cleanse your face twice daily. Overwashing can strip the skin of essential oils and lead to increased oil production.

Are there any risks associated with treatments for oily skin?

Treatments for oily skin are generally safe. However, overly aggressive treatments can irritate the skin, so it’s important to use gentle formulations and follow professional advice.

How can I tell if a product is suitable for oily skin?

Look for products labelled “non-comedogenic,” “oil-free,” and “suitable for oily skin” as these are designed to prevent clogged pores and manage sebum production.
