This type of skin is due to the sebaceous glands under your pores, which produce natural oils called sebum. Sebum keeps your skin healthy and protected, but if your skin is greasy to the touch, the sebaceous glands are working overtime producing excess oil. Do you have to use blotting paper or a tissue to remove excess oil?

We need sebum — the oily, waxy substance that lubricates the skin — to keep our moisture barrier intact, but overproduction can become problematic.
