    GlossaryOily Skin (Greasy Scalp)

    overproduction of sebum by sebaceous glands causing shiny appearance

    Oily skin, also known as seborrheic skin, is characterized by an overproduction of sebum, the skin's natural oil, by the sebaceous glands. This excess oil can lead to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores, and a higher propensity for acne and other skin blemishes. Managing oily skin often involves using specific skincare products that help control sebum production and maintain a balanced skin environment.
