After we talked about her struggles with dry skin and acne, I suggested she try using some of the acne treatments I’d seen on the market. I’d used some and gotten great compliments from everyone who saw me, including her. She liked the idea. She was leery of spending too much money given her current financial situation but I assured her the investment was a good value. It worked and her increased confidence would help her get a job.

According to my friend, when you have very dry skin, it can easily become irritated. That irritation can lead to breakouts. Most people think only oily skin breaks out but the flaking of the dry skin can also cause blocked pores. It’s a nasty combination that can lead to a lot of breakouts and not many products for acne are designed to help.
