Seborrhea Sicca
What Is Seborrhea Sicca?
Seborrhea Sicca, also known as dry seborrhea, is a skin condition where the skin produces too much oil, yet still appears dry, flaky, or rough. This is because the skin barrier is weakened and cannot properly retain moisture, even though the sebaceous glands are overactive.
It is most common on the face, scalp, and chest, and can cause:
Dry, tight skin that still looks shiny or oily
Flakiness or fine white scales, especially around the nose, eyebrows, hairline, and chin
Occasional redness or irritation
Clogged pores or mild breakouts
Good news: With the right skincare routine, seborrhea sicca can be greatly improved. The key is to regulate sebum production, fight dehydration, and rebuild the skin’s protective barrier.
🔍 Why Does This Condition Happen?
Several factors can contribute to seborrhea sicca, such as:
Hormonal imbalance
Incorrect skincare routine – harsh cleansers, alcohol-based toners, over-exfoliation
Cold or windy weather
Stress
Genetics
Unlike typical oily or dry skin, seborrhea sicca requires a balanced approach – not just oil control, but also deep hydration and barrier repair.

My Professional Tip
Avoid foaming cleansers and alcohol-based toners that can make the dryness worse. Look for products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and mild fruit acids. Using a balanced skincare routine is the most effective way to transform dry-but-oily skin into soft, radiant, and healthy skin.
