· High amount of sebaceous, can make your hair and skin oily.

· These glands are usually attached with the hair follicles, but it may also be in other areas like eyelids, where they add sebum to tears to keep the eye moist

·  It coats the hair follicles through the pores eventually to reach the surface of the skin

·  When it reaches the skin, it gets mixed up with the lipids and sweat to form a fine, acidic coating called as acid mantle.

·  It helps to keep the skin moist and hydrated.
