The glands responsible for lubricating the skin and minimizing water loss are called sebaceous glands. These glands are found throughout most of the skin, except palms and soles. They are usually connected to hair follicles and release an oily substance called sebum into the follicular duct and then to the surface of the skin. Sebum helps to keep the skin moisturized and creates a barrier that protects against the evaporation of water from the skin's surface.
