Summertime sebum care for men.

Control stickiness to achieve a clean look.

Many men are aware that they sweat easily, especially in hot weather.
As summer approaches and the temperature and humidity increase, the main skin concerns, along with perspiration, are oiliness, stickiness, and shine caused by sebum. This not only gives an undesirable impression, but it may cause skin problems such as irritation and breakouts. Furthermore, when left on the skin, sebum can oxidize, which may lead to older-looking skin and even affect how you smell!
That’s why sebum control in the summer is indispensable for a man's overall cleanliness.

Controlling sebum is the key to a man's summer success.

Since male hormones stimulate sebum secretion, men secrete about twice as much sebum as women.
While women's sebum production decreases with age, men's sebum production is said to remain almost the same throughout their lives.
Sebum secretion in men increases as the temperature rises in the spring and summer seasons, causing the face and scalp to look greasy.
Leaving excessive sebum on the face not only makes you feel uncomfortable, but it also makes you look sticky and shiny, which is not an impression you want to give. For men, controlling sebum is essential to maintaining a clean look in any season.

Excess sebum can lead to unwanted odor and skin problems.

The increases in sebum secretion during the summer aren’t only responsible for sticky and shiny skin. High temperature and humidity, combined with steam from wearing hats and face masks, mean it can also cause a strong odor on the scalp, skin irritation, and acne. Moreover, if sebum is left on the skin during the season when ultraviolet rays are strong, it easily oxidizes, which may lead to skin problems down the line and an increase in age-related odors. Sebum-control measures not only address current skin and odor problems, but they may also prevent future problems.
