If sebum is secreted excessively or is not properly expelled, it can clog pores and cause skin problems. That is why you have likely wondered at least once how to remove facial sebum.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons why sebum forms on the face, home care methods for managing it, to dermatological procedures for removing facial sebum.

1. Reasons for facial sebum production

1) Hormonal influence

Hormones can increase sebum production. During puberty, excessive sebum secretion can occur due to the influence of growth hormones, and it is said that hormones released due to stress can also lead to increased sebum production.

 

2) Incorrect facial cleansing habits

In addition, excessive washing can also increase sebum production. Washing your face too vigorously with a cleanser that has strong cleansing power can lead to excessive sebum secretion.

 

3) Weakening of skin barrier

When the skin becomes dry and the skin barrier weakens, more sebum is produced to compensate.

2. Home Care Methods for Managing Facial Sebum

1) Gentle cleansing

Since excessive washing can increase sebum production, it is important to wash your face gently using a hypoallergenic cleanser. In particular, it is recommended to refrain from rubbing your face vigorously.

2) Exfoliation

It is said that regularly managing dead skin cells also helps facilitate the smooth excretion of sebum.

 

👉 Check the necessity of exfoliation and exfoliation frequency by skin type

 

3) Hydration

When the skin is dehydrated, sebum production increases to compensate, which can make the skin look shinier. Therefore, replenishing moisture deep within the skin to balance oil and water levels is said to be helpful for managing sebum.

4. Q&A

1) Are there any precautions I should take when removing facial sebum?

First of all, you should refrain from squeezing sebum with your hands. You must be careful, as squeezing with your hands can enlarge pores or cause inflammation. Additionally, since excessive exfoliation to remove sebum risks damaging the skin barrier, it is important to manage exfoliation at an appropriate interval.

 

2) Do I need to remove sebum every day?

You should be careful, as excessive removal can actually increase sebum production.

Squeezing sebum with your hands or trying to remove it excessively can actually widen pores or worsen skin problems. Therefore, if you feel that your sebum production has increased significantly lately, it is important to manage your skin by considering the causes of sebum secretion as well as the condition of your skin barrier.

I hope you refer to the facial sebum removal methods I shared today to take care of your skin condition!
