Detailed explanation-1: -Sebaceous glands are microscopic glands found in your hair follicles that secrete sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that protects your skin from drying out. Sebaceous glands can clog, so you can keep your glands healthy by following a skin care routine that includes cleansing and moisturizing your skin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sebaceous glands (holocrine) produce an oily secretion that keeps the skin soft and pliable and helps to retain moisture, thereby helping to maintain hydration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sebum is essential to keeping your skin healthy. It prevents your skin from drying out and flaking or cracking. Of course, it’s not the only source of moisture on your skin. Oil on the skin is usually made up of a mixture of sebum, sweat, dead skin cells, dust, and whatever else is floating around in the air.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sebum helps the skin retain its elasticity. Sebum also helps the skin maintain its moisture barrier. There are no sebaceous glands located in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. For this reason, these areas are common places to be afflicted with dry skin.
