Oily Skin

Oily is used to describe a skin type with heightened sebum production. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin. It's vital for keeping the skin healthy, however, too much sebum can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. This over production is known as seborrhea. 

Oily skin is prone to comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and to the varying forms of acne. With mild acne, a significant number of comedones appear on the face and frequently on the neck, shoulders, back and chest too. In moderate and severe cases, papules (small bumps with no visible white or black head) and pustules (medium sized bumps with a noticeable white or yellow dot at the centre) appear and the skin becomes red and inflamed.
