Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum and sweat glands produce a watery substance called sweat.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum, which contributes the vast majority of lipids-fat molecules-to the skin’s surface. These surface lipids keep the skin hydrated and healthy.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you have very oily skin, your body may be producing an excess amount of the mixture of lipids (fat-like molecules) that make up sebum. Of course, what we call “oil” on our skin is made up of more than just sebum.
