One of the common causes of acne is excess sebum or oil in the face. It serves as a breeding ground for bacteria that causes the appearance of pimples. However, it does not necessarily follow that people with dry skin are exempted from acne.
Most people with dry skin that deals with bouts of zits and pimples are those with what they call combination skin.
Most people with this skin type find it a lot more challenging and difficult to apply proper care. It is confusing to try to figure out what to apply that will work best for them. Here are a number of ways to remember to keep skin healthy and acne-free if you have dry skin and pimples.
Be choosy on the products you use. Choosing a product that is intended for dry skin when you have pimples will not help because it might give your skin moisture but may worsen the acne problem. So choose the right product that is intended for your skin- products that moisturize the skin and absorb extra oil.
Use a separate soap for your face. Don’t use ordinary soap when washing your face because it will dry the skin more. A moisturizing soap will remove the dirt on your face without drying it. It also makes the skin softer because of the moisture and added nutrients that it contains.
Use a moisturizing astringent because an ordinary astringent will not be good for your pimples. A witch hazel astringent is a good suggestion. It is also recommended tnht you apply a moisturizer right after applying astringent.
Avoid the sun. Too much sun exposure is bad for the skin because it cause premature aging. If you have dry skin, you should be more conscious in limiting sun exposure. However sun’s rays apparently can cleanup acne. To help cure your acne without the risk of dealing with very dry skin, visiting a tanning bed salon two times a week is advised. Also don’t forget to wear sunscreen when going out.
