Skin Type: Oily Skin

Is my skin type oily?

The increased production of sebum by the sebaceous glands gives oily skin its name. Due to hormonal changes, this problem becomes more common during adolescence, when young people's testosterone levels rise, stimulating the sebaceous gland to generate more oil, aiding the production and appearance of pimples.
