Dry skin will worsen it since the face needs it natural oils.
Please check out one of the links on my page (by clicking my icon first) as I am unable to post them here for unknown reasons. They will help. Good luck.

No. Acne is caused by an oil blockage of pores. If your skin is naturally on the dry side and your oil glands do not produce large amounts of oil you have a less chance of blockage of the pores. When I was a teen I had combination skin, dry in some areas and oily in others.
I would imagine that changes in skin oil production can happen unpridictably, so you can still have blockage and acne. Keeping your skin clean is important.
There are some simple natural products that can help with your skin - Oatmeal Soap, Aloe Vera Gel (liquid), Tee Tree Oil, Zinc, dandilion capsules, and garlic capsules. You can probably find plenty of "natural cures for acne" online, or over the counter products (be careful).
I was told of a cure when I was a teen and I was repulsed by the mear suggestion: years later I find out that it is true. Urinate in a cup then wash your face with the urine, rinse with fresh water and moisturize lightly with a quality product. I believe your suppose to use your first morning urine. Really, it was a tip from one of those eary morning shows.

No because dry skin irritates the skin and acne. You don't want to irritate it. The healthier and cleaner the skin the better. So that's why whenever you wash your face you always moisturize. Always. If you buy a box set of stuff to rid acne they will always have a moisturizer. When you wash you take the ph out and so you have to balance it. I believe that's what the toner is for. And then you need to put the moisture back in. I used to think that with it dry it will dry up the acne. It's not true. Just complicates it.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Dry skin is not good no matter if it is acne related or not.
You should try some natural moisturizers if possible and make sure you develop a healthy diet of water and food with other good nutrients.

If it's dry due to acne medicine then yes. But make sure you use a lot of moisturizer. I recommend Purpose!

El acné es algo tradicionalmente relacionado con la adolescencia, aunque no necesariamente. Se puede padecer de acné por muchas razones, desde un desequilibrio hormonal hasta una incorrecta aplicación de cosméticos por parte de la persona (que suelen empeorar usando MÁS cosméticos para ocultarlo).
Existen muchos medicamentos para curar el acné, pero siendo sinceros, lo que realmente hacen es combatir temporalmente los síntomas del acné, no la causa en sí, ni tampoco son una solución permanente, lo que nos obliga a estar adquiriéndolos una vez y otra.
Si quieres un buen remedio para el acné, te recomiendo encarecidamente éste:

It will actually worsen it. If you keep it hydrated than that's a different story.
