Oily Skin

Oily Skin


When this occurs it is usually associated with other attending problems like acne, large pores and sometimes excessive facial hair.

The main reason for this is excessive oil production due to enlarged sebaceous glands in the skin.


This may be due to genetic and racial reasons but also at times due to excessive hormonal (androgenic) stimulation of the glands.

Various treatments available includes blocking the hormone stimulation or shrinking the glands.


Cosmeceuticals may also be helpful including proper advice on the correct use of washes, toners and moisturisers.
