Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands in the skin secrete a lot of sebum. Sebum is a waxy oily substance that protects and moisturizes the skin, and is essential for maintaining healthy skin. However, excessive sebum production can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. Caring for oily skin often requires a lot of effort and time.
