  Alba Botanic Body Care Sea Algae Enzyme Facial Scrub
  
  Cleanse skin gently in the winter months. Although acne reacts well to gentle scrubs created specifically for zit prone complexions, make sure to choose a non-irritating brand that does not cause redness or a tight, dry feeling in your face. This is usually a sign that your face has become too dry from zit-zapping ingredients, and in turn might cause you to produce additional oil, making the situation worse.

  Witch Hazel Pads
  
  Consider abandoning your toner this winter. Acne responds very well to a cleansing, toning and treating combination of skin care products, but a toner may cause additional dryness in colder months. Try using toner only on extreme problem areas (like the T-zone), or switching to natural witch hazel pads instead.

  Boscia Clear Complexion Treatment
  
  Treat your skin with care. After cleansing your skin, it’s important to apply an acne cream to the affected areas, as well as any areas where you are prone to breakouts to prevent future breakouts. Try using a less irritating brand of zit treatment, which either uses natural ingredients or contains moisturizer as part of the product.

  Neutrogena Visibly Clear Moisturizer
  
  Moisturize, no matter what. Many people suffering from acne believe that applying lotion to their skin will only make their breakouts worse (when, in fact, it can keep the skin from producing excess oils). Try applying a light cream that is non-irritating, doesn’t clog pores and contains sunscreen to protect the skin in winter months.

  ROC Age Diminishing Night Cream
  
  Consider using retinol before bed. Skin requires moisture at night (especially in the winter), so try fighting breakouts by using a cream that contains a small amount of retinol. Retinol is a powerful ingredient for smoothing and clearing the skin (while also preventing wrinkles), although it’s important to avoid extreme irritation by using small amounts slowly. Strive to only apply retinol products at night, and always wear sunscreen during the day, because retinol can make skin extremely sensitive.
