What Is Oil Production?

Your skin naturally produces sebum, an oil made in the sebaceous glands. Sebum keeps skin soft, smooth, and protected — but when the balance is off, it can affect how your skin looks and feels.

Why Oil Levels Change

  • Genetics – Skin type often runs in families.
  • Hormones – Changes during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can affect oiliness.
  • Weather – Heat and humidity can increase oil; cold, dry air can reduce it.
  • Products – Harsh cleansers strip oil; heavy creams can clog pores.
  • Diet & Lifestyle – Hydration, nutrition, and stress all play a role.

💡 Remember: Oil is not your enemy! The goal is balance, not total removal.
