Dry, acne-prone skin is a tough combination to beat. One needs to look for hydrating formulas that quench the skin’s thirst while minimising breakouts. Luckily, we have the product that clinches this balance – Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash with Salicylic Acid.
So, If you struggle with dry skin with acne, keep reading. We let you in on all the benefits of this extraordinary, Salicylic Acid-infused cleanser and help you weave it into a skincare regime. But before getting down to this miracle worker, let’s understand all the reasons for dry, acne-prone skin.
What is Dry, Acne-Prone Skin? How Does It Occur?
In the simplest terms, dry, acne-prone is characterized by the lack of natural oils in the dermis with visible breakouts. The degree of parchedness and frequency of breakouts may differ from person to person. Ahead, we discuss the two main reasons that give rise to this doozy of a problem.
1. Lack Of Moisturization: For those unaware, the lack of natural moisturization a.k.a. dryness, leads the skin to lose its water molecules quickly and become dehydrated. This lack of moisture content in the skin – cues the sebaceous glands to overproduce oil and leads to a never-ending slick on the face. When this excess sebum with dirt and impurities clogs pores, it gives rise to acne.
2. Comedogenic Products: Alternatively, zits can also pop on dry skin due to certain skin and beauty products. So, before you go on a shopping spree, ensure that all the products are non-comedogenic i.e. they don’t clog pores.
Okay, But How Can Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash Help Dry, Acne-Prone Skin?
For Acne: As discussed earlier, Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash hits the sweet spot of intense hydration with acne control. At the heart of this formula, Salicylic Acid, buffs away dead cells, debris, and excess oil to maintain a balanced microbiome. The ace cleanser not only beats acne but also casts away blackheads and whiteheads with ease. For the uninitiated, Salicylic Acid has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness, rashes and irritation that often go hand-in-hand with breakouts.
For Dryness: Moreover, the anti-acne cleanser also features Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. Hyaluronic Acid or HA is a powerful humectant that binds water molecules to the skin, preventing episodes of dry, flaky skin. Skincare workhorse Niacinamide helps double down on these efforts for hydration by preventing TEWL or Transepidermal Water Loss.
Now, that you have found the perfect cleanser, let’s take a look at the best skincare routine for dry, acne-prone skin.
