Sunscreen for blemished skin

More blemished skin despite the sun?

It is said that the sun's rays are the best cure for pimples. Anyone who has tried this before will have noticed that it is a myth. The pimples and the unclean skin disappear for a few days, but then the impurities come back with double the force.

The reason for this is due to the sun's UV radiation, especially when you are in the sun for a long time. This causes a thickening of the epidermis, also called light calluses. That leads to pimples and pustules! These hide under the surface of the skin for the first few days. After two to three days of sunbathing, they appear - often ugly and with a persistence that requires a lot of patience.

Furthermore, the use of greasy sunscreen on blemished skin also leads to pimples sprouting! But what should you do if you have pimples but still want to enjoy the sun?

Which sunscreen do you use for pimples?

If you suffer from blemished skin, there are a few things to keep in mind when buying, using sunscreen and when sunbathing:

• Sun gel is more recommended than sun cream. This is because the fat content of the gel is very low. However, many sun gels also consist of comedogenic substances. These are substances that clog the skin.

This means that you should limit yourself when sunbathing so as not to harm your skin. Full sun not only harms your skin in terms of pimples, it also creates wrinkles. A seat in the shade is definitely appropriate after an hour of sunbathing.
