Have you ever wondered....

...where did all the oil on your face/hair come from? They say it is because of an overproduction of sebum by the oil glands in the lower layers of our skin. Simply put, it’s a case of having overactive sebaceous glands. But who gave those glands permission to be so active?!! They are within me yet I can't control them?? Naughty little sebaceous glands!!! Well, I don't take oily food. Cos I hate food that contains too much oil.... I am not too stressed either.. Some say stress will cause the level of the body’s stress hormone (cortisol) rises and causes an increase in oil production in the scalp and skin. If I can, I will punish these oil sebaceous glands!

I don't have such shiny, greasy-looking face, but I'm more likely having dry skin face. I'm also still atruggling with this naughty dry skin. ....

@Ayuriny @petatonicsca suggested combining talents... I thought maybe we can organize some gland exchange program..

@Ayuriny maybe you should try to do hydrating/moisturizing masks!

That's how it is when still young . The sebaceous glands can be so active . I am lucky i never had pimples on the face when i was young. But i have them on my butt , sometimes .

Those oil sebaceous glands are very bad and need to stay away.

I am often so dry it gets itchy. Maybe we can combine our talents.

I've noticed that my oil gets wiped off when I exercise or do something which makes my sweat out. And my skin is more glowy..but not oily..even skin looks more fresh.. So, how about trying some workout and seeing the results?

seems like a good suggestion. I remember when I exercised previously, it seemed better. so it might probably work!
