15 Home Remedies for Oily Skin.

What causes oily skin?

Our body produces oil to help keep our skin soft and supple, but if too much sebum is produced, it can cause acne breakouts and fat, which are among the leading causes of acne. The next time you ask yourself, "Why is my face so fat?", Remember that there are two main factors to blame: hormones and genetics.

Oily skin is medically known as seborrhea and is caused by an excess of fat produced in the pores. During puberty and other life events, fluctuating hormones can increase androgen levels; Androgens are considered to be one of the leading causes of oily skin. Androgens are male hormones found in men and women that indicate the maturation of the sebaceous glands of the skin. As these glands ripen, oil production increases.

The greater the amount of androgens present, the more sebum is channeled through the pores, which are then deposited on the surface of the skin, creating an oily luster. If this excess oil is trapped in the pore and associated with dead skin cells and bacteria on the surface of the skin and inside the pore, grains, blackheads and other points.
