The Sun and Your Skin

The sun can have damaging effects on the skin if precautions are not
taken. Exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer (melanoma), premature
aging and acne. While sun worshippers claim that the sun clears up
their acne, it is actually causing more harm than good. At first it
may appear that the sun is drying out their pimples, but it is
actually just making their skin darker and the blemishes less visible.
In time, however, more acne can develop.

The acne is actually spreading as the sun dries out the face, causing
dead skin cells to get caught in the pores. Some web sites claim that
the sun kills acne-causing bacteria under the skin. But even if this
could be verified, the long term damage done to the skin far outweighs
the possible short term benefits. Along with premature aging,
wrinkling and cancer, fair skinned individuals may also incur
excessive freckling.

If you are planning on going out into the sun, always wear a minimum
of SPF 15 sunscreen or sun block. And if possible, avoid being
directly in the sun for extended periods of time. If this cannot be
helped, apply more sun block if you start to get sunburned or get into
the shade immediately. When choosing a sunscreen, choose a product
that is non comedogenic so you can use it on your face and also oil
free, so it does not lead to acne on other parts of the body.

If you are using a prescription acne medication, salicylic acid,
benzoyl peroxide or other acne fighting medicine, take extra
precautions to avoid prolonged sun exposure. This could lead to excess
redness, dryness and other negative effects. If you are going to be in
the sun then use a non comedogenic sunscreen on your medicated areas.

Whenever possible, sun exposure should be kept to a minimum with
maximum sunscreen protection. The immediate and long term benefits of
sunscreen usage will help protect you from unseen damage and skin
disorders in the future.
