Question: Does the sun clear up skin blemishes?

Our Answer: Everyone wants to have clear and clean skin. Although mother nature has a different plan for our bodies and skin, there are certain things that you should and should not do to attempt the ultimate clearing of skin blemishes. So, in this passage we will attempt to answer the question, will the sun help me to clear up skin blemishes?

It is a fact that when one gets any amount of significant sun exposure the skin tends to tan, even burn. This causes the skin to dry. Blemishes, pimples and other skin irritants dry and slowly fade. Initially you would think that the drying of the skin and the temporary removal of blemishes is a good thing, right? Well, the fact is, the sun dries these blemishes only temporarily and damages the good skin cells that reside in your skin. After the sun exposure, you skin is dry and your skin reacts to this state with an overproduction of oils. This overproduction can lead to an even more severe breakout later, a couple days after.

It is better to avoid extreme sun exposure and use sunscreens and other cosmetics that contain sun blocking agents. Find a better way to cleanse the skin and avoid temporary solutions like the sun. They tend to do more harm than good, at least that’s our opinion.
