Care Guide: Balancing Oily Men's Skin

A shiny forehead, an oily T-zone, clogged pores – oily skin affects many men, especially on their faces. The excessive sebum film quickly makes the skin look unkempt, promotes blemishes, and reduces the absorption of skincare ingredients. But oily skin isn't a disadvantage – it usually ages more slowly as long as it's treated properly.

What's crucial is a skincare regimen that clarifies, regulates, and protects at the same time – without drying out the skin. Overly aggressive products only promote excess sebum.

  • Constantly shiny skin areas (especially forehead, nose, chin)
  • Large, visible pores
  • Frequent blemishes, blackheads or underlayers
  • Make-up, sunscreen or creams “slide” off quickly
    Feeling of “greasy” skin just a few hours after washing
  • Overproduction of sebum due to genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal fluctuations (testosterone)
  • Incorrect care products (e.g. occlusive creams, oils)
  • High glycemic index in the diet
  • Stress, smoking, lack of sleep



A study in the British Journal of Dermatology (2005) shows that men produce on average 2-3 times more sebum than women – the sebum level is directly controlled by hormones, but can be positively influenced by external care.
