Here is everything you need to know.

Why moisturize your skin when you have acne?

The presence of acne can be due to poor diet, episodes of stress, hormonal upheaval, poor lifestyle and many other reasons! This explains why acne is not only reserved for oily skin, it can very well be present on dehydrated or even sensitive skin. When you have acne, it will be very important to adopt an anti-acne facial care routine once a week as well as a daily routine.

What are the consequences of anti-acne routines? When we only use products to fight acne, there will inevitably be consequences on our skin:

• It weakens our skin and damages the hydrolipidic film (this is the film that protects our skin from external aggressions)
• The skin will produce more sebum; dehydrated skin does not self-hydrate on its own. If the hydrolipidic film is damaged, it will want to protect itself. Result ? It begins to produce sebum, the skin then becomes even oilier and spots appear!
• The complexion is dull.
• The skin lacks suppleness.

This is why you are advises to include a moisturizing cream in the evening in your daily routine. You should also include a hydrating mask in your facial care routine (you can alternate with a purifying mask).
