True or False? Sun helps dry up acne lesions

True. Ultraviolet rays of the sun do help dry up acne lesions and kill acne bacteria. Additionally, the natural pigmentation from tanning helps hid the redness from acne. The same rays, however, can also cause inflammation and sun damage possibly leading to premature aging and cancer. Drying up acne with effective skin care products is a safer and better option.

  1. Love the true/false Q and A. Great way to learn! Keep them coming. I also luuuuuv the Apricot moisturizer that you recommended I use!!! Not only does it smell really yummy, but you can really feel it working on your skin and soothing it. It's kind of like after one of your facials. It feels like you did something special for not only your skin, but also for yourself!
