Exposing your skin to the sun can initially improve acne by drying out the skin and reducing inflammation.
However, this is only a temporary solution and prolonged exposure to the sun can actually worsen acne in the long run and also increase the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
It is always best to consult with a dermatologist for a safe and effective treatment plan for acne.
