Myth Busters

Sun exposure helps clear acne

Over time, unprotected sun exposure actually causes breakouts. While a tan masks the redness of a breakout and may in fact dry pimples up a bit faster, the increased cell turnover caused by sun exposure builds up more dead cells. As these dead cells pile up, pores become blocked, causing more breakouts. On top of that, UV rays will intensify post-acne dark marks. Sunscreen will not increase breakouts or make you look greasy if you find the right one. Look for a non-comedogenic SPF with UVA protection and oil control for best results.
