Myth: Sun is Good For Acne

It’s time for the sun to go down on the myth that sun is good for acne. Although a little sunshine might clear up acne for a day and any tan you get will mask redness, over time sun exposure will actually increase buildup of dead skin cells, clogging pores and exacerbating acne. In addition, the sun darkens acne spots resulting in those unwanted souvenirs lasting even longer.

So slap on the sunscreen and stick to your acne regimen come rain or shine.
