Oily and combination skin

Oily skin is characterized by overactivity of the sebaceous glands (oil glands) and excessive secretion of sebum (skin fat). This condition is usually accompanied by dilated skin pores and enlarged sebaceous glands, which facilitate the process of transferring sebum to the skin surface. In combination skin, which is characterized by an uneven distribution of sebum; although genetics is the main determining factor in this skin type, a set of external and internal factors such as environmental factors, hormonal factors, inappropriate and incompatible product selection, including stress and poor diet, play a role in causing excessive oiliness of the skin. Sebum, while playing a role in maintaining moisture and creating a protective barrier for the skin, in large quantities can have undesirable consequences such as excessive shine, increased penetration of environmental pollutants and creating the basis for the occurrence of pimples and acne. However, the presence of high levels of sebum also has benefits such as softness, improved elasticity and delayed formation of wrinkles. Accordingly, the use of targeted dermatological strategies and specific Byzantine formulations for oily skin has resulted in the benefit of the protective effects of sebum while controlling the complications caused by its excessive secretion. Some areas of the face, including the T-zone of the face, including the forehead, nose and chin, tend to be excessively oily, while other areas, including the U-zone of the face, such as the cheeks, jawline and areas below the hairline, are dry and stretched.
