Also, while the sun may help dry acne in the short term, its effects are detrimental in terms of cancer but also will lead to benign brown "sunspots" on the face and will not prevent acne. In fact, sun protection is part of a good regiment for acne and the daily facial moisturizers with sunscreen are not greasy and can be applied under make-up. Teenagers are challenging in many respects, so providing them with accurate information will hopefully allow them to make the responsible decisions. I hope this information helps everyone to get into the habit of applying sunscreen daily.

What types of sunscreen do you use on a daily basis? Talk about it in the message boards.
