What Has Dry Skin Got
To Do With Acne
“Is My Acne Caused By My Dry Skin?”
Generally, skin types can be categorized into three: normal
skin, dry skin and oily skin and all of these skin types stand
to be acne inflicted. There are many people who possess all
these types on their faces and other parts of the body. Therefore,
these three basic categories of skin require different treatments
and maintenance.
Oily skin is known as the acne-prone type and during winter,
this skin condition is more common since acne is more active
under the surface of the skin rather on the surface itself
for dry skin, so, you should change your skincare according
to the seasons.
Due to the decrease of temperature and humidity, moisture
is often insufficient in the winter. The skin becomes drier
and more irritated combined with all these factors. This will
cause the flaking of the skin mostly around the shoulders,
buttocks, mouth and the nose. Some skin even cracks in the
worst cases, thus leaving openings where bacteria and other
harmful organisms may penetrate and of course increase the
like hood of acne breakout. To help counterbalance this problem
on dry skin, use moisturizers to help you.
During cold seasons, try to avoid hot baths and showers to
maintain the moisture level in the skin. Typically, the drier
your skin is, it is more required of you to apply supplemental
moisturizers. It is best advisable that you apply moisturizers
within five minutes after stepping out of the bathroom.
When it is the summer, you will need a different set of daily
routines for skin maintenance. The skin absorbs better moisture
level during this season due to the fact that the air is more
humid. Usually, skin pores are softer because of sweat and
heat, which causes the pulling of a greater number of liquid
and bacteria into the skin. And so, it is better than you
include retinoids in the daily routine but must be covered
with a strong sunscreen and enough moisturizing creams.
Retinoids may dry the skin but it helps to reduce the bacteria
and oil presence in the skin. On top of these benefits, it
is known as an aid in the reduction of wrinkles, sunspots
and lines in dry-skinned people.
Dermatologists have not proven that dry skins are more prone
to scarring than the other types of skins. Scarring could
be gue to genes, the type of skin one has inherited. It was
further concluded that scarring manifests because the blemishes
were not allowed to completely and properly healed.
It is very likely that acne may leave two types of scars
both for oily-skinned and dry-skinned people. The first type
of scar is the ice-pick scar which resemblances deep holes
on the skin surface. The second type is the pigmented scar,
which are at first purplish-brown marks and will gradually
develop as white scars that are raised on the surface of the
skin.
All these issues can be treated with over the counter medications
and face peels but if it cannot be treated within duration
of three or four months, then, then it is advisable that the
person to seek professional help.
