Tips For Keeping Acne-Prone Skin Hydrated...

ACNE SKIN CARE in CHICO, CA         916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Acne products can dry out your skin when not paired with water-binding buddy. Toss in a little winter weather, and your skin could begin to back track - and we can't have that!

Winter equates to lower humidity, colder temperatures and stronger winds. These conditions set the scene for dry, irritated skin... and acne. Dry skin can form "micro fissures" - tiny little cracks where water can escape. For you acne-prone peeps, hydrated skin helps normalize the shedding process to keep your skin looking ooo-la-la fresh! Here are a couple of tips for keeping skin protected through the winter.


#1) Use a hydrating serum, emulsion or gel to introduce and bind moisture in the skin.

#2) Use topicals that contain botanical-based anti-inflammatories to help control redness.

#3) Seal it up & lock it in! Products that contain dimethicone, create a seal over the skin to lock in moisture and help prevent transepidermal water loss.

#4) Protect from UV rays with broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 - even in the winter. Rain or shine.
