Winter can be a challenging time for acne-prone skin. The dry, cold air outside and the artificial heat indoors create the perfect storm for clogged pores, irritation, and breakouts. At Sol & Bel, we understand these challenges and are here to help you navigate the season with confidence. Here’s how to keep acne under control during the colder months:

Don’t Skip Moisturizer

It’s a common misconception that oily or acne-prone skin doesn’t need moisturizer. Winter air is naturally drying, which can lead your skin to produce even more oil to compensate. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain hydration without clogging your pores. Comfort cream from Glymed+ is one of our favorites!

Avoid Harsh Cleansers

Over-cleansing can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and increased acne. Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without compromising your skin’s barrier.

Use Acne-Fighting Ingredients Strategically

Incorporate products with salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoids to target breakouts. However, balance is key—overusing these can exacerbate dryness and irritation in winter. This is where expert guidance can make all the difference.

Hydration is Key

Hydrated skin heals better and is less prone to irritation. Treatments like our Hydrating Facials or the Face Reality Bootcamp Program are perfect for providing your skin with the hydration it needs while addressing acne at its root.

Consult a Professional
