Is it good to sunbathe for acne scars?

Acne is a common symptom of the body. The occurrence of pimples is related to the body's endocrine system being too active, or because you do not pay attention to developing good living and eating habits in your daily life. Staying up late, eating too much spicy food, smoking and drinking are all habits that may cause acne. If not treated and controlled in time, the symptoms of acne will be aggravated. So is it good to sunbathe for acne scars? Let us introduce it below.

Nowadays, many people go out with their skin naked, without taking any sun protection measures. They just walk around in the sun, exposing their skin directly to the air. But you don’t know that the culprit that causes acne scars to deepen and last for a long time is the sunlight and ultraviolet rays that you are exposed to almost every day! It is particularly important to emphasize that even on a cloudy day, ultraviolet rays are everywhere! Here I would like to remind all those with acne-prone skin to be wary of the sun’s ultraviolet rays! They can cause the following three types of damage to the skin:

1. Destroy the skin's protective film, aggravate skin oil secretion, clogged pores and acne inflammation symptoms.

2. It causes the skin epidermis to thicken, aggravates gland aging, and further enlarges the pores.

3. Reduce skin immunity and resistance to bacteria, making the skin sensitive and fragile. These three situations will cause or aggravate acne. When we have acne, if it is exposed to the sun, red blood streaks will appear. If the acne is red, it will be difficult to subside. Even if it subsides, it will leave red acne marks. Moreover, the acne marks that have been exposed to the sun will be darker in color. What’s even more frightening is that when strong ultraviolet rays pass through the acne wound and directly penetrate the epidermis, they will leave burn marks like black spots on the skin after the acne disappears. If the acne scars are exposed to ultraviolet rays and melanin is formed, it will become very difficult to remove. People with severe acne scars should have this experience. The dark and hard acne scars on the face are difficult to disappear after several years. Therefore, you should pay special attention to avoid sun exposure when there are red acne marks on your face. Once sunburn turns them into black acne marks, they will worsen and become difficult to disappear.

Exposing acne scars to the sun for too much time may have a negative impact on the healing of the acne. Once the body shows symptoms of illness, it is still necessary to actively adopt targeted methods for treatment. This will keep the body in a healthier state. If the treatment method is used improperly, not only will there be no good therapeutic effect, but it may also cause other disease symptoms.
