Gently Fight Acne Flare-Ups Sadly, acne does not go into hibernation for the winter. In fact, Chiu says the chilly temperatures and windy weather can irritate and inflame acne.
If you're one to reach for overdrying products to combat breakouts, such as over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide, you might want to reconsider. "Often excessive dryness can have the opposite effect on oil glands, as they get confused into increasing oil production to compensate," Chiu says.
This fall, switch to a non-drying, anti-inflammatory acne treatment gel containing dapsone. And even if you're not used to moisturizing before bed, opt for a grease-free night cream formulated for oily and combination skin.
