Skin Care Tip:
Everyone knows it's important to protect their skin from UV rays. That's
especially good advice for people with acne, but what's up with that?
Acne sufferers are always at risk
for scarring from inflammation and infection, and scar tissue is more prone to hyperpigmentation, a darkening of the skin.
Sun and UV exposure increase the tendency for skin to hyperpigment. When scars
darken they really stand out and become noticeable. Then, you feel more self-conscious
by their appearance.
That's why we always recommend
a safe and non-comedogenic, (not-acne-causing) sunscreen as part of your home care
program: to block UV radiation and prevent hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreens may not seem that important, but they
are part of the program to acheive beautiful skin. After all, beautiful skin
is what it's all about! |
