What should i do about dry skin while using an acne treatment?
I’m currently using a treatment for acne and it’s working very well, but it’s also drying out my skin. I’m wary about using just any moisturizer, as i’m afraid it will interfere with the acne treatment and make my skin break out. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do about the dry skin?
Skin Care Tip: What To Believe
Do this and don’t do that. Sometimes it is very confusing to read all the labels in the store and to know what to believe. It takes a little time but by reviewing and learning about your skin, you will be able to make an educated decision that your skin will thank and reward you for making.
The first skin care tip is all skin needs to be cleansed. Unfortunately, many people take this step to an extreme. If the skin doesn’t feel tight, it must still be unclean. Wrong. Tight skin means the vital natural oils have been removed and the result can be rough, red, dry skin.

Cleansing the skin with warm water and any of the mild liquid cleansers for most people will clean the skin but leave the natural oils intact. Bar soaps can be irritating and facial cleansers don’t always take care of excess dirt and oil, so stick to mild, non-soap cleansers.
After you have cleansed the skin don’t stop, you are only half way done. Moisturizing is a vital component and your next skin care tip.
Any daytime moisturizer worth using has to provide a solution to neutralizing free radicals, helps restore normal skin function and should help the skin produce the vital proteins needed for normal skin.
It is important to note that while most of us wash our face more than once a day, it is also important to moisturize our skin more than once a day. Night time cleansing can be done using the same product used in the morning but night time moisturizing is critical to good skin health. So the next skin care tip is to use a second moisturizer that is made for over night use.
An over night moisturizer tends to include vital skin ingredients that can not be used in day time products because the inclusion of these ingredients makes the product to heavy. Emollients and shea butter as well as other natural products all play important rolls in the nourishing of our skin.
The over all best skin care tip is to cleanse and moisturize twice a day. Research the products to be sure they include natural ingredients that are healthy and safe for you skin and are formulated to be used together to optimize results. With a little diligence you can eliminate the confusion in the skin care aisle and create a new skin care routine that will leave your skin healthy and radiant and will reduce the signs of aging making your next look in the mirror one you will love.
