Oily Skin

All skin has oil in it, and in fact this is what keeps your skin happy, healthy, and hydrated. Under each pore, there is a sebaceous gland that produces natural oils that are called sebum. This sebum is not a bad thing, however sometimes the sebaceous glands go into overdrive and produce too much of these natural oils, resulting in oily skin.

Having too much oil on the skin can make it feel greasy, shiny and require blotting several times a day, and breakouts are more likely to occur, as the sebum mixes with dirt and dead skin cells to block up the pores in your skin.
