How To Protect Your Skin From The Sun When You Are Acne Prone?

When your skin is oily and acne prone it can be very challenging to find the right solution and keep your skin safe from the sun without getting more breakouts.

Most acne sufferers skip the use of sun protection because:

1., The fear of getting more unwanted break outs from putting on a oily, creamy lotion to protect their skin.

2,. They believe that the sun will dry up their acne and the tan will cover the unwanted blemishes.

I’m here to tell you that wearing sun protection everyday is probably the single most important thing you can do for your skin. It will protect you from skin cancer, reduce the amount of scarring and will keep your skin looking young. Remember, you need to use it every day!

So how do you choose the right Sunscreen?

It might take a little research on your end but the right sunscreen is out there. You have to make sure that you’re using a noncomedogenic  formula that will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.  These types are free of comedogenic ingredients and won’t break you out.
