But doing this will strip your skin of its natural oils, disrupting the skin’s moisture barrier and When this occurs, the oil-producing glands begin to overproduce oils to attempt to hydrate the skin. However, this doesn’t help the skin because oils don’t hydrate so the skin keeps producing more oils which just ends up clogging the pores and lead to acne breakouts.
