Reply:i had the same thought. maybe it is sanitizing affect of the sun? solar power kills the germs.
Reply:its because ur sensitive skin is exposed to the sun.. and being in the sun.. ur face also tend to be more oiler.. hence the acne flares up
Reply:I have no excellent explanation for this. I know for a fact that it is a myth that sun exposure dries up oily skin so, that's not the reason. Some studies do show that sun exposure helps, other studies find no direct relation on patients exposing themselves to the sun and acne clearing up. It is highly possible that it is more part of the psyche than reality that the sun helps clear up acne.
Reply:Acne is caused by bacteria clogging pores. The sun and air act to flush the skin with perspiration.
Reply:I guess this is the same thing, like when you cook toast or something the texture changes on the bread because of the heat, well same thing with the sun, the suns heat burns the pimples, and gets rid of them. I know it has something to do with the heat, because the sauna also helps get rid of pimples.





Hope this helps!
