What Causes Oily Skin?
Overproduction of Sebum
Your skin naturally produces oil (sebum), but some people produce more than needed, leading to excess shine.
Using the Wrong Products
Harsh cleansers or heavy creams can disrupt your skin and actually cause more oil production.
Over-Cleansing
Washing your face too often can strip natural oils, causing your skin to compensate by producing even more oil.
Hormones and Lifestyle
Hormonal changes, stress and diet can all influence oil production.
