One of the most common questions I get is “How do I take care of my skin when I have acne?” If you’re reading this you may have landed here while googling to find the answer to the same question.

Taking care of your skin when you have acne is a little tricky. You want to find a way to take care of it without hurting it even further.

One of the key things to remember here is that when you have acne the best way to treat your skin is gently. You may be tempted to slather on the acne creams to try and get rid of the acne. While it may work you could be left with dry, sensitive skin. From personal experience I can tell you that dealing with dry, sensitive skin is not a picnic.

Oil Cleansing Method when you have acne goes against what everyone says as the typical skin care for acne. The general norm is that oil free is best when it comes to acne prone skin. I tried all possible face washes meant especially for my acne-prone and oily skin in my teens and 20’s. Nothing helped the acne. I wished it were that simple, just to wash the acne off.

I specifically bought moisturisers that said oil-free, but even the best of them left my skin looking oily a few hours later. This was all perfectly fine when I was in my 20’s.

However, my acne stayed with me well into my 30’s. The oiliness I had in my 20’s was no longer there to soothe my skin. As much as I did not like it then I realised it was keeping my skin moist. Now I used to dread the thought of using any face wash however gentle the label said it was, on my now drying skin. It left my skin red, raw, tight and itchy.
