Oily Skincare Solutions

Our skin naturally produces oil, thanks to the sebaceous glands located beneath each pore, which secrete sebum.

This natural oil plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and health, acting as a barrier to protect against external elements.

While oil is necessary for maintaining the health of your skin, it's common for these glands to occasionally go into overdrive for a variety of reasons, producing more sebum than needed.

What Issues Can Oily Skin Lead To?

Excess production of sebum can lead to a shiny complexion, clogged pores, acne breakouts– the common skin concerns often associated with oily skin.

Oil helps preserve the skin, often people with oily skin tend to have thicker skin and fewer wrinkles.

The key is to strike a balance between having too much oil and maintaining your skin's natural moisture.

Understanding how to balance oil production is key to managing oily skin effectively and maintaining clearer, healthier skin.

What Causes Oily Skin?

  • Genetics: If your parents have oily skin you are likely to have overactive oil glands as well.
  • Age & Hormones: Teenagers often have more oily skin since their hormones are changing rapidly and their bodies try to find homeostasis. While you don’t necessarily grow out of oily skin, sebum production will decrease as you age. Additionally, hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy can lead to overproduction of oil as well. 
  • Where You Live & Time of Year: People tend to have oilier skin in hot, humid climates.
  • Using the Wrong Skin Care Products: Oily skin can also be a response to using the wrong skincare products for your skin type. When treating oily skin, you don't want to use harsh ingredients that strip the skin of natural oils, because your body can actually respond by over-producing oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frownies tailor its products for oily skin types?

At Frownies, we focus on selecting natural, oil-balancing ingredients, and avoiding harsh, synthetic ingredients that can increase oiliness. Each ingredient is chosen for its ability to provide effective oil control and minimize the likelihood of breakouts, offering a solution that keeps oily skin clear and healthy.

What ingredients can help oil-prone skin?

Board-certified dermatologists may recommend active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid to target oil production and unclog pores. We at Frownies focus on gentle yet effective plant-based ingredients to bring your skin into its natural homeostasis, balancing oil production (or sebum production).

Is it true that people with oily skin are less likely to develop fine lines?

Yes, people with oily skin may be less prone to fine lines due to the natural moisture provided by excess sebum, which protects the skin from water loss and may delay signs of aging. However, all skin types need proper care, including hydration and sun protection, to maintain their health and appearance.
