OILY OR ACNE
Oily skin happens when the sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum. Sebum is produced by the body to help keep the skin healthy, it is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the surface, but there can be too much of a good thing. Excess oil can lead to blemishes and acne flare-ups.
