Acne-Prone Skin Needs a Winter Routine Change

If you’ve ever battled acne, you know that consistency is key. But here’s the truth: consistency doesn’t mean doing the exact same thing all year long. Just like the weather changes, so does your skin’s environment — and your routine needs to keep up.

When the air in Missouri turns cold and dry, your skin naturally loses more moisture. Heaters start running, humidity drops, and even the most balanced complexions can become dehydrated. And here’s the tricky part — when acne-prone skin gets dry, it doesn’t always just flake. It can actually trigger more breakouts, irritation, and those tiny under-the-skin bumps known as milia.

That’s why at Linde Esthetics & Wellness Studio, we often recommend small seasonal tweaks for our Face Reality clients. One of our go-to adjustments this time of year is supplementing the Ultra Gentle Gel Cleanser with the Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser for the first evening cleanse, or in some cases, replacing the gel cleanser altogether during the colder months. This simple shift helps maintain hydration and comfort without disrupting your acne routine — keeping your skin balanced, not stripped.

The Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser gently removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while supporting your skin’s protective barrier. It’s rich enough to comfort dryness but still light enough for acne-prone and sensitive skin. No stripping, no tightness, just clean, calm skin ready to absorb your treatment products.

Why It Matters

When your skin barrier is strong and hydrated, your acne routine works better. Your actives (like serums or treatment gels) can do their job without fighting against irritation or dehydration. Think of it as keeping the foundation solid so everything else performs the way it’s meant to.
