Both the sun and wind can dry your skin, removing moisture which can create irritation. When this occurs, pre-existing acne can become even more irritated, which in turn prolongs the problem.

Perhaps one of the most common myths is that oily skin does not need moisture. This is not true. Just because skin is oily, does not mean it is moisturized. By cleansing the skin, you are wiping away excess oil, and my moisturizing it, you are helping it remain smooth and decreasing your chances for irritation.

By properly hydrating your skin, it not only will promote and stimulate cell growth, but it also helps the organs of our body to work together.
