    Glossary Sebum Production

    process where skin glands release oil to protect skin

    Sebum production, also known as sebum secretion or oil production, is the process by which sebaceous glands in the skin produce and release an oily substance called sebum. This natural oil helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair, maintaining moisture and providing a barrier against external contaminants. Overproduction of sebum can lead to oily skin and contribute to conditions like acne, while underproduction can result in dry, flaky skin.
