Cold weather impacts your skin barrier. Lower humidity, indoor heating and friction from layers all affect how your skin behaves.
Here’s how you adjust and why it matters:
Cleanser & frequency:
In winter you may need less frequent cleansing or a gentler cleanser, especially if your skin dries out. Over‑cleansing causes dryness which leads to excess oil and clogged pores.
Moisturizer and barrier repair:
Switch to richer, non‑comedogenic moisturizers with ceramides or hyaluronic acid. Especially after body washes on your chest/back, apply a light treatment or moisturizer to lock in hydration.
Body zones matter:
Breakouts on the trunk (back, chest, shoulders) in winter often stem from friction, sweat trapped under layers, tight clothing, or gear straps.
Routine tweaks for body acne:
‑ After cleansing with the Truly Clear Acne Bar, apply treatment to chest/back.
‑ Use the Swirl Scrubber weekly to gently exfoliate and reach hard zones.
‑ Wear breathable fabrics, avoid heavy sweaters that trap sweat overnight.
‑ Consider a humidifier if indoor air is very dry.
When standard routine fails:
If you upgrade your hydration, cleanse properly and still see breakouts, it might be time to alter your actives or seek professional advice. Dry skin can mask or fuel acne.
Quick Winter Body Acne Checklist:
• Use Acne Bar for trunk clean cleanse.
• After shower, apply treatment to body acne zones.
• Use Swirl Scrubber once/week for reach + exfoliation.
• Wear breathable layers; change sweaty clothes.
• Use richer moisturizer on body zones prone to dryness + breakout.
• Monitor back/chest every 4 weeks with photo for progress.
Conclusion:
Winter does not mean skipping body acne care. By adapting cleansing, moisturizing and gear habits you’ll support clear skin despite climate changes.
