Keeping Hydrated
Function:
Sebaceous glands produce and release a fatty substance called sebum. The sebaceous gland secretes a mixture of fats. Sebum helps to form the slightly greasy surface film of the skin, which protects skin from losing too much water (waterproof).
Fun Fact:
Glands are found in greatest amounts on the face and scalp.
