What to Know About Having an Oily Skin Type
Oily skin, also known as seborrhea, is characterized by the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands responsible for lubricating the skin. This excess sebum can create a shiny or greasy appearance, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) area. Enlarged pores, a tendency towards breakouts like blackheads or whiteheads, and a thick or coarse skin texture are also common features of oily skin.
