Oily skin, acne, blackheads… On a daily basis, sebum excess can be a real burden. Discover today our tips to get rid of it!

Sebum excess: what is it?

Secreted by the sebaceous glands, sebum, composed of lipids, is essential to our skin. It protects it from dryness, while helping to keep the epidermis moisturized.

Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for the skin to generate too much sebum: this is known as hyperseborrhea. This creates an imbalance, called sebum excess.

This imbalance has consequences on the beauty of our skin. If the skin is initially shiny, particularly on the entire “T-zone”, sebum excess is also associated with the appearance of imperfections: blackheads, dilated pores, acne… Thus, in general, treating sebum excess helps to cleanse the skin of our face.

What are the causes?

During puberty, sebum excess is often linked to the production of hormones. But in adulthood, the causes of its appearance can be multiple: prolonged exposure to the sun, unsuitable cosmetic care, stress, fatigue, age, climate…
