Best SPF'S For blemish prone skin

 

It can be that the wrong sunscreen choice can cause you to break out—but it's important that you don't skip it, even if you have acne-prone skin.

You may think the sun is drying out the skin and your tan is helping to camouflage the breakouts.

 

When in fact it increases its own oil production, releasing more oil from your sebaceous glands onto areas of sun-damaged skin.

 

You must not forget that the sun is constantly emitting ultraviolet light that can create free radicals and lead to health concerns, such as sun damage, skin cancer, and premature aging.

 

These oil-free sunscreens are great for acne-prone skin and won't cause breakouts.
