Why does our skin become oily?

Nowadays, many are looking for a solution to the  oily skin type  problem, which is also known as increased sebum production.


In addition to its negative effects on health, it causes a porous appearance on the skin.  The oily skin type can develop due to hormonal changes, genetic factors, and environmental factors.
Factors such as skin structure, age, and seasonal
changes can also influence it. While oiliness caused by external factors decreases over time, oiliness caused by genetic factors becomes a long-term issue. 


Why does oily skin occur?
The basic skin types are divided into three groups: dehydrated, dry, and seborrheic skin. 

The causes of oily skin depend on a person's genetic makeup and lifestyle. These causes can be listed as follows:


1. Hereditary predisposition: For some people, oily skin is hereditary. If the appropriate care routine is not applied, or if care is neglected, it will be even more difficult to manage.


2. Hormonal reasons: Certain diseases or hormonal disorders present from birth can cause excessive functioning of the sebaceous glands and lead to oily skin.


3. There are cases when the skin becomes oily due to reasons such as puberty, menopause, or during  pregnancy.


4. The Maruderm salicylic acid facial cleansing gel is specially designed for combination and oily skin,  protecting the skin's oil balance against periodic changes affecting the skin. It cleanses the pores and gives the skin a clean, vibrant appearance.


5. Use of inappropriate skincare products: Products for the care of oily skin  should preferably be water-based and not stick to the skin. Oil-based products used on acne-prone skin can cause fat deposits on the skin surface and clog the pores.


6. Unhealthy diet and inadequate self-care: A person's eating and fluid intake habits, the content of consumed food, and sleeping patterns can lead to significant changes in the structure of the skin.


7. Choosing healthy and fat-free foods, ensuring regular and adequate sleep, avoiding harmful habits that can damage skin health (e.g., smoking), and paying attention to the body's cleansing; can prevent  the development of oily skin.


Does oily skin cause acne?
Causes such as excessive production of sebaceous glands in the body, accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin, or the use of products that cause greasiness on the skin;  can easily clog the skin's pores. If the skin cannot breathe and sebum accumulates on the skin, acne and blackheads may occur.
