There has always been the old myth that "sunning" your skin will clear up your breakouts, but actually the opposite is true. Dr. James Beckman, the creator of Reversion, says, "Sunlight itself can cause an increased production of skin oils, which may actually make acne worse."
Exposure to small amounts of sun is certainly healthy. Sunlight is necessary for certain vitamins, like Vitamin D, to function. But don't forget the sunscreen! Knowing the damage that sun exposure can wreak on your skin, you should protect yourself as much as possible by wearing a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 every day. Not only does your face need protection, but your body's skin is just as susceptible to skin damage, making it important for you to wear an SPF 15 on all exposed body parts. |
