Excessive sun exposure can lead to temporary improvement in acne due to drying effect of the sun and UV rays killing bacteria on the skin.
However, prolonged sun exposure can also lead to skin damage and increased risk of skin cancer, so it’s essential to use sunscreen if you plan to spend time in the sun.
Ultimately, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice on managing acne and sun exposure.
