Have You Heard Of Sebum?

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

The natural oil that is secreted from the glands within the skin is known as sebum. This is an essential oil that is secreted naturally in order to help protect the skin and to leave it feeling supple and moist. But if a person does have very oily skin then there are two main issues that a person will need to be aware of.
The first will be to remove and regulate the amount of oils being secreted and also to ensure that the problem does not become worse such as that of the appearance of acne or spots.
Oily skin can be a problem for a number of reasons such as that of hormonal activity which is why many teenagers are seen to be suffering from this condition.
