    Drying your skin makes acne BETTER. The bacteria that is in some pimples can't live in a dry environment, and the sebum that causes other pimples comes from oil in your skin. Your face WILL begin to produce more oil to combat the dryness, which is why you have to use a moisturizer; moisturizers train your skin to rely on them instead of producing its own oil.
