If you sweat alot that could make your acne worse especially if you don%26#039;t clean your face during the day and at night.





The Sun is actually good for you, your body needs sunlight to produce seratonin and Vitamin D. But, if you are in the sun too much, so much that you get a sunburn then it is bad for you and can cause skin cancer.





It is kind of a vicious cycle- Your body needs sunlight, but if it is hot, then you sweat, which can make acne worse, and if you are in the sun alot you need to wear sunscreen, which can clog your pores and cause acne-


Solution...


*Look for Non-Comedogenic Sunscreen which means that it won%26#039;t clog your pores.


*Stay in the shade as much as possible, you%26#039;re still getting sun, but not too much


*Wear a hat


*Wash your face as soon as you get home from the beach or working outside, and wash your face at night (Find a gentle cleanser that you like and that doesn%26#039;t dry out your skin)





Good luck, I hope that helped some :)|||No, generally tanning can make acne better. What can make it worse after tanning is the sweat, dirt, sunblock, and skin that ends up peeling. Make sure you cleanse your skin really well at the end of the day and use a gentle exfoliator. You should also use a sunscreen that%26#039;s specially designed for faces that doesn%26#039;t have oil in it and won%26#039;t clog your pores.|||i have acne and have for 4 years. if anything, I heard the the sun HELPS acne. it does for me. yu kindaa just tan over it and its less noticeable. if yur in the sun too much and dont use sunscreen then obv the sun can harm yur skin. but that%26#039;s why I love summer, my acne is less noticeable. but be sure to use sunscreen. good luck !|||Acne Help Centre
