If you have winter acne, chances are you have a specific skin type that obviously does not respond to the dryer climate and conditions often associated with winter. You would think it would be more humid considering the snow and everything, but it doesn’t actually work that way. Some people have serious breakouts only during the winter or more so during the winter than any other season.

There is also cold, windy air leading to suddenly dry skin. So first of all, remember that you should always use a good moisturizer. This protects you from the very basic problem at hand. But also tone down your acne treatment, not in power, but if you use an irritating treatment, stop. You should never actually use an irritating treatment if you can help it, but you get the basic idea.

A humidifier placed near the bed can stop the dry air and help you to achieve better results, and if you use skincare products in general using mineral oils, that also helps. These are all very basic things basically aimed around keeping your skin from drying out, which is not actually a good thing despite the common misconceptions about acne.
