    Breaking out after moving to California

    Hi!

    All of my life I've always been fortunate to have clear skin and hardly any breakouts. However, I moved to California a year ago, and as I moved here, I started to notice breakouts accuring in my chin area. I also have more blackheads on my forehead than I ever have before.

    I've done some reading that my skin could be creating too much oil due to the dryness out here. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this issue, and what worked for you.

    I have always had normal-dry skin so now I'm sure it's dryer than ever. I also wash my face every day which I never used to do, I only started because of the breakouts, and if anything - they seem to be getting almost worse instead of better.

    Thank you!
