Why does skin love oil?

oil production is a membrane formed by sebaceous glands secreting oil to the skin surface. As one of the components of skin chemical barrier, it plays an important physiological role such as moisturizing.

However, too much grease makes your face shiny and annoying. How to keep skin soft and moist while avoiding excessive shine?

where does the skin oil come from?

There are two structures in our skin, sebaceous glands and hair follicles. One is the structure that secretes oil, and the other is the pipeline that excretes oil. With puberty, the sebaceous glands begin to increase in size and actively secrete oil, which is discharged to the skin surface through the pipeline of hair follicles and will participate in the formation of [lipid membrane] on the skin surface.

Truth: In fact, the "glossy" on the skin surface is not real oil, but the product of sebaceous gland secretion and excretion.

Benefits of oil

1. The oil and sweat secreted by sebaceous glands form a sebum film to prevent water from evaporating.

2. Sebum can create a weak acidic environment and inhibit harmful bacteria on the skin surface.

3. Sebum contains vitamin E, which can effectively resist oxidation.

4. Moisturize skin and hair, lack of oil, rough and chapped skin and withered hair.

oil skin is older than thousand skins, and the reason why we encounter various scenarios of oil production is actually because of excessive secretion of sebum.

causes of excessive secretion of sebaceous glands

1. androgen

at present, it is believed that sebaceous glands in hair follicles are mainly influenced by androgen. When androgen secretion is strong, sebaceous glands are active.

2. Temperature

Temperature can significantly affect sebum secretion. The secretion of sebaceous glands will increase by 1% when the temperature increases by 1 < P > 3. Reflective oil secretion < P > When the skin is short of water, "reflective oil secretion" occurs. According to this conjecture, good hydration and moisturizing can reduce oil secretion.

4. The stratum corneum is too thin

The stratum corneum can absorb oil. When the stratum corneum is too thin, the oil can't be adsorbed, and it will float on the surface, resulting in obvious gloss.

5. Age

Age will directly affect the level of sebum secretion, and the sebum secretion of sebaceous glands will decrease with age.

6. Disorder of internal secrets

Great pressure and irregular diet and sleep habits will lead to endocrine disorders and disorder of body functions, thus stimulating the production of male hormones.

7. Eating habits

Oily food and spicy food can increase sebum secretion. Therefore, people with oily skin, especially those with acne, should not eat sweets, greasy and irritating foods.

Misunderstanding of oil control

1. Frequent use of oil-absorbing paper

Flowers will wither without water, not to mention human face. If the water intake is insufficient, the skin will easily become dry, rough and dehydrated due to lack of water.

2. Commonly used cleansing facial cleanser with strong cleaning power

Although oil control facial cleanser can effectively remove oil, if used frequently, it will damage the sebum membrane and even destroy the skin barrier.

3. Apply high-efficiency oil control products to the whole face

Although oil control products can control oil, they can also cause dryness and peeling, especially in places with underdeveloped sebaceous glands, which are easier to dry.

4. Wash your face with hot water

Washing your face with hot water is easier to remove grease. Actually, it is not. When washing your face, it is not advisable to add too hot water, preferably warm water.

5. Not paying attention to water replenishment

Washing off surface oil will cause imbalance of water and oil secretion and stimulate sebaceous glands to secrete more oil. Therefore, water replenishment is the key to oil control.
