Treating acne in dry skin is very challenging. Dry skin usually means damaged skin. It can occur to anyone of any age, due to a variety of reasons like

  • genetics,
  • age factor- as our skin tend to become drier and lose elasticity in our skin,
  • lack of moisture makes your skin more sensitive and prone to break outs,
  • various health problems like diabetes, psoriasis, kidney issues, or thyroid problems,
  • certain acne medicines cause excess dryness to the skin,
  • usage of certain soaps that cause irritation and dryness,
  • usage of cleansers that are too alkaline,
  • over-washing of the face,
  • usage of alcohol/ menthol/ fragrance based moisturizers

Dry skin is characterized by a feeling of tightness and the skin may become red, itch, flake and at times may develop deep crack and bleed. One should be careful about the selection of their skin care products and treatment medications so that they can control acne and dry skin at the same time.

Tips to treat dry skin acne:

  • Use soothing cleansers and toners
  • Apply moisturizers on your skin twice a day to avoid it from drying
  • Massage your face for at least 5-10 minutes with essential oil
  • Use lotions/ointments that suit your skin type
  • Avoid long hot showers and bath
  • Protect your skin from cold, dry air and blustery winds by wearing scarf’s, etc
  • Do not over wash as it can strip the natural oil and moisture of the skin
  • Apply a layer of sunscreen lotion when you’re planning to spend outside, irrespective of the season
  • You can use a tomato pulp/ lemon juice/ cucumber paste as face pack
  • Use creams/lotions that contain salicylic acid, which effectively works on acne
