If you have dry skin, oftentimes you are battling with your skin and with your acne.  Obviously with dry skin, peeling, redness, and sun sensitivity are more likely, and frankly without the right amounts of oils, actually your skin has a tendency to break out more.  So you want to regulate it.  First of all, start eating more fish.  Fish is packed with omega 3 and other good fatty acids, and these will help to properly regulate the moisture and oils in your skin that you do need.  Second, make sure that you are using a gentle cleanser.  Many harsher yet more popular cleansers come with drying and irritating ingredients such as for example benzoyl peroxide.  You definitely want to avoid these as your skin will naturally be more susceptible to them.  And finally, use a light moisturizer.  Many have the tendency to go overboard and use a thick and heavy moisturizer when their skin is dry.  This will only end up clogging your pores, even if you have extremely dry skin.  So instead use a light moisturizer preferably based on essential oils or for that matter water.  It will help you to get the results you want, and frankly you can use a richer moisturizer at night as your pores will be more open and willing to properly respond to it while helping you to moisturize better during the day as well.
