Sebum: Skin's Natural Oil

Did You Know? Sebum (Skin Oil)

Sebum (the medical term for skin’s oil) is an essential part of healthy, youthful looking skin.

Anyone who suffers from oily skin and acne knows that excess sebum can be a real problem. When follicles become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, bacteria grows and causes acne breakouts.

Yet sebum plays an important role. It is responsible for keeping the skin waterproof, lubricated, and protected from external pathogens. Without it, our skin would become dry, brittle, and cracked.

The key to beautiful skin isn't removing all your oil, but rather maintaining a balance. At Lime Beauty, we offer clinical facials and customized treatments designed to manage sebum production while maintaining the skin's vital moisture barrier.
