1. Sun is great for acne
Sun may temporarily mask your acne, tighten up pores, or dry up the oil glands.
However, the sun will also damage your follicular walls and those lesions will trigger an inflammatory response that shows off as acne breakouts that may not surface for 3-4 weeks after your sun exposure.
2. Washing your face more often will help clear up acne
Facial blemishes are not caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in commercials, pores do not get blocked from the top down, except by certain cosmetics.
Rather, an entire pore collapses from deep within the skin, starting acne formation.
Frequent washing does nothing to prevent this.
Over-washing is actually irritating, and excess irritation can worsen acne.
A washcloth can aggravate this situation further.
Use bare hands to wash and only wash twice a day.
