As wonderful as the sun feels, the short answer to this one is: NO! While the sun might dry out acne blemishes at first, long term it will make it worse.
With more sun exposure, dead skin cells build up, which can clog pores. More clogged pores = more bacteria and blemishes.
Exfoliate your acne-prone skin regularly and don’t skip the sunscreen! When choosing a sunscreen, make sure it is noncomedogenic – which means that it won’t clog pores and is created for acne-prone skin. Enjoy the beautiful spring and summer months, but keep your skin protected and covered to maintain a radiant glow!
