Balance Excess Oil and Build the Best Skincare Routine for Oily Skin
What is Oily Skin Treatment?
Oily skin treatment refers to both in-clinic procedures and daily skincare habits designed to help manage excess sebum production. Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce more oil than the skin needs, often resulting in a shiny appearance, visibly enlarged pores, and a higher tendency toward breakouts. It can be driven by genetics, hormones, climate, or an unbalanced skincare routine that strips the skin and triggers even more oil production in response. Effective oily skin treatment usually combines professional, technology-led sessions with a consistent, well-suited at-home routine rather than trying to eliminate oil completely which can actually damage the skin barrier. The goal is to bring oil production back into balance for a clearer, more refined complexion.
What Causes Oily Skin?
Hormonal Fluctuations
Changes in hormones during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy or periods of stress can increase sebum production.
Hot and Humid Climate
Warm, humid weather can make the skin appear oilier and may increase sebum production.
Over-Cleansing
Washing the skin too frequently or using harsh products can strip its natural oils and may trigger increased oil production.
Heavy or Comedogenic Products
Certain skincare, sunscreen and makeup products can contribute to excess oil, clogged pores and breakouts.
