Limit Exposure to Sun and Avoid Certain Foods
Getting some sun may temporarily dry out acne, but it may have long-term negative effects on the skin. Regular sun exposure dries out the skin, which eventually leads to increased oil production and pore blockage.
All year long, wearing sunscreen[4] can help to protect your skin. Of course, as you may already be aware, sunscreens frequently include a lot of oil. Consider using a non comedogenic, oil-free sunscreen to defend against the sun and pimples.
Your diet also influences your skin condition. Certain foods that contribute to skin issues include:
- Diary products [5]
- Processed foods
- Refined sugar
- Alcohol
Reducing your intake of these foods and adopting an anti-acne diet [6] can help ease your break out.
