Excessive oily skin is one of the familiar problems for many. This condition not only spoils appearance but also creates the basis for various cosmetic problems, including the appearance of acne and red spots. According to experts, although the accumulation of fat on the face is considered a natural process, in some cases it exceeds the norm and can negatively affect a person's psychological state.
Skin and sebaceous gland activity
The human body contains millions of small sebaceous glands, which play an important role in protecting the skin from external influences and retaining moisture. The sebum oil produced by these glands keeps the skin elastic and stable, protecting it from harmful bacteria. However, sometimes the sebaceous glands work excessively, and as a result, the face constantly appears oily.
Hormone exposure
Hormones play an important role in the activity of sebaceous glands. Especially androgens - testosterone and its derivatives - enhance sebum production. For this reason, in adolescence, many people experience rapid facial fat deposition and the appearance of acne.
In women, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause affect the condition of facial skin. In men, due to high hormone levels, oily skin persists longer.
Nutrition and lifestyle
Without a proper diet, fat accumulation on the facial skin increases even more. Especially sweets, fatty foods, carbonated drinks, and easily digestible carbohydrates increase insulin levels in the blood. Increased insulin affects hormone activity, forcing the sebaceous glands to work more actively.
At the same time, stress, sleep disorders, and excessive fatigue can also cause facial oiling. Experts emphasize that this problem can be somewhat alleviated by establishing a proper daily routine, engaging in sports, and proper nutrition.
