Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous oil secreting glands
overproduce more oil than is needed for proper
lubrication of the body's skin. This excess oil can clog pores and
also cause skin blemishes. Oily skin is probably mainly a factor of heredity, but it
is known to be affected by factors such as diet, hormone levels, and
lifestyle.
Humidity and hot weather can also stimulate the sebaceous glands into
producing more oil than normal. Because human skin tends to become dryer with
aging, and
because of the hormonal changes of adolescence, oily skin is common in
teenagers, but it can occur at any age. At other times in people's
lives hormonal changes may occur that can be a problem like menopause.
Many people have skin that is
oily only in certain areas and dry or normal in others, a condition
known as "combination" skin. Normally, the chin, forehead, nose,
and the upper back tend to be oilier than other areas of the body. Oily skin
does has some positive aspects. It is slow to develop age spots and discoloration,
fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs
of aging. It doesn't
freckle or turn red in the sun on the contrary, it usually tans evenly and
very beautifully. On the negative side, oily skin is vulnerable to "breakouts"
well past adolescence and has a chronically shiny appearance, an oily
or greasy feeling, as well as enlarged pores. ..more
