Sunscreen: A Must-Have even for Acne-Prone Skin

new research suggests that sunscreen is ‍crucial for everyone, even those with acne-prone skin.

Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen doesn’t⁣ worsen acne.⁣ In fact, it can actually help improve it.

This surprising finding comes from a recent study by Wardah, a leading skincare brand, presented at⁢ the International Conference on Dermatology and Cosmetology (IDC) in Paris. The research, conducted on thier Acne Calming SPF 35 sunscreen, showed that participants who used sunscreen in addition to their regular acne serum saw a greater reduction in blemishes and breakouts compared to those who used serum alone.

“Our study found that using sunscreen alongside acne ‍treatments led to a significant decrease in both blackheads and pimples,” says Diyah Utami, Associate‍ Principal Skincare Scientist at ParagonCorp, Wardah’s parent company. “This debunks the myth that sunscreen can aggravate acne.”

Why Sunscreen Matters for Acne-Prone Skin

Many people ⁣with acne avoid sunscreen because they fear it will clog pores and make their skin oilier. However, ‍unprotected sun exposure can actually worsen acne.

“When⁣ skin with acne is exposed to excessive UV⁢ radiation, it can lead to inflammation and further irritation,” explains ⁤Utami. “Sunscreen‍ acts as ‍a shield, protecting the skin from these harmful rays and ‍preventing further damage.”

Choosing the Right Sunscreen

For ⁣those with acne-prone ⁤skin,Utami recommends opting for lightweight,water-based sunscreens that absorb quickly and won’t feel greasy. this type of formula is less likely to clog pores and cause breakouts.

The Importance of sun protection

Sunscreen is essential for everyone, regardless of skin type.⁢

Nagase Mana Tachibana, ASEAN Regional Skincare Expert, explains that ⁣UV radiation from the sun comes in two forms: ‍UVA and UVB. Both types can damage skin cells and contribute to premature aging.”UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin’s⁢ dermis, were collagen and elastin⁢ reside,” says Tachibana. “Damage to these fibers can lead to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity.”

UVB rays,on the other hand,primarily affect the skin’s surface,causing sunburn,redness,and ⁣even DNA damage.

By using sunscreen daily, you⁤ can protect your skin from these harmful effects and maintain a healthy,⁣ youthful ⁤complexion.
