It’s also important to be aware that some acne medication and skin peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun and more susceptible to sun-induced skin damage. Dead skin can build up, block pores and exacerbate acne. When skin dries out its external layers harden and this can get in the way of the natural skin-shedding process. This excess sebum is one of the key stages in the development of blemishes. Over exposure to the sun causes it to dry out and the sebaceous glands (which products the sebum that gives skin the oil it needs) go into overdrive. To prevent skin from drying out: Oily skin still needs moisture.These pigmentation marks are particularly susceptible to the sun and the right sun protection will help to prevent them from darkening and becoming more noticeable. This surplus melanin remains after the spot has healed leaving a pigmentation mark. To protect against hyperpigmentation: As skin affected by acne show a high degree of inflammation, it is particularly prone to hyperpigmentation and excess melanin is produced.Effective sun protection is essential for all skin types and it’s particularly important for acne-prone skin for a number of reasons: The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU requirement.
