If you’re dealing with dry skin pimples or dry skin breakouts, you’re not imagining it. Acne isn’t just an ‘oily skin’ condition. Dry skin and acne can coexist, which means you can have dry, sensitive skin and still break out. The good news? You don’t have to choose between clearing acne and protecting your skin barrier – with the right approach, you can do both without making dryness worse.
