ACNE SCARRING & UVA RAYS...

ACNE SCAR REVISION CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Plant this image in your brain: blotchy leathery skin, wrinkles and skin cancer. This is what can happen when you don't wear sunscreen - even on rainy days. A rainy day is not a free pass to skip sunscreen. If you are using exfoliating agents like those found in acne products, take even greater precautions because these types of acne care products make your skin much more sensitive to the sun's UV rays.

UVA rays are powerful enough to penetrate glass, clouds and certain clothing. They also penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, causing increased acne scarring as well as potential cell death and mutations. Using acne skincare products can do more harm than good if you don't take precautions - so lather up with sunscreen even on those rainy days. Apply sunscreen before you hop in the car, at the office if you sit near a window, and always reapply your sunscreen throughout the day.
