People who often have inflammation and pimples often have skin that is too dry (unless it is hormonally determined).
Because your skin is so dry, it goes into 'survival mode' and produces extra (and therefore too much) sebum, which causes inflammation and pimples.
This skin type can often benefit from a little rosehip oil (three nights a week, for example). Sunscreen is also essential, as the sun can further dry out the skin. Therefore, it's crucial to use a day cream with SPF during both summer and winter, or to apply a layer of (tinted) sunscreen on top of your day cream.
1. Cleanse your skin in the evening with a gel cleanser:
