Will sun exposure help clear acne?
Some people with acne claim that exposure to the sun helps treat acne. This is usually when the skin becomes tanned, acne pimples tend to show through less. This technique is not actually clearing acne, but rather hiding it somewhat. Although it may seem like an easy-fix to help hide blemishes, it is recommended to instead stay out of the sun and instead get proper acne treatment.
Also note that many acne treatments make skin extra sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so be sure if you are using one of these acne treatments that you don’t exceed the recommended time spent in sunlight, and wear proper sun protection.
