What Defines Oily Skin?
Understanding the root causes of oily skin and how to manage it.
Why Your Skin Feels Greasy
Excess Sebum Causes Shine & Breakouts
Sebaceous glands produce too much oil, leading to a greasy appearance and clogged pores.
Oil & Debris Can Stretch Pores
Large Pores Are a Common Concern with Oily Skin
Excess sebum and buildup make pores appear larger and more noticeable.
Why Oily Skin is Prone to Acne
Clogged Pores Can Lead to Blackheads & Pimples
When oil, dead skin, and bacteria mix, they form acne, especially in the T-zone.
Oily Skin Affects Makeup Wear
Excess Oil Breaks Down Foundation & Concealer
Without proper skincare prep, makeup can separate, fade, or appear greasy.

Heat, Humidity & Hormones Play a Role
