Oily sheen: where does it come from?
Oily shine affects many people. Shiny skin to face is caused by excessive sebum production. A shiny face does not necessarily mean that the skin is oily. In fact, the skin can also be shiny but dry - a condition sometimes referred to asdehydrated skin".
Shiny skin, but not greasy
dehydrated skin can also lead to an overproduction of sebum. If the skin is not sufficiently moisturized, the body may produce more sebum to moisturize the skin.
A damaged skin barrier makes it difficult to keep the skin moisturized, which also results in increased sebum production.
- Aggressive cleanser
- and the wrong care can also irritate the skin.

Is your skin constantly shiny? These are the most common causes
If your skin is constantly shiny, this may indicate excessive sebum production. In order to know what you can do about an oily forehead, it is important to know the causes of sebum on the skin:
-
Sebum production: The sebaceous glands in the skin produce the body's own oils, which are important for moisturizing and protecting the skin. If your body is imbalanced, this leads to overproduction.
-
Environmental factors: High humidity or heat can stimulate sebum production and make the skin shine. This can also happen in combination with insufficient moisturizer .
-
Hormonal changes: Hormones, especially androgens, can stimulate the sebaceous glands and lead to increased oil production.
-
Predisposition: Genes can also play a role in increased sebum production. If you have a family history of oily skin or acne, you are more likely to have increased sebum production. Genetic factors can also influence the size and activity of the sebaceous glands and skin texture.
-
Unhealthy lifestyle: An unbalanced diet, habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption as well as too much stress can promote inflammation and cause the skin to produce more sebum. Too little sleep also impairs skin regeneration and can disrupt the balance of sebum production.
- The wrong skincare products: Your skincare should be individually tailored to your skin type. Heavy, oily or comedogenic products clog the pores, which can lead to inflammation and increased sebum production. Products with irritating ingredients irritate the skin and cause inflammatory reactions. Unsuitable moisturizers for oily skin cause the body to produce even more sebum.
Oily shine on the skin is mainly caused by excessive sebum production, which is caused by
- hormonal changes,
- genetic predisposition,
- Environmental factors
- and incorrect skin care practices.
An unhealthy diet and stress can also contribute to the skin producing more sebum. A healthy lifestyle and the right skin care effectively contribute to a radiant complexion.
