Does Getting More Sun Exposure Help With Acne?

Acne sufferers swear that the key to curing their zits is getting sunburnt.

In viral videos posted online, acne sufferers swear that the key to curing their zits is getting sunburnt. They say the UV rays from the sun can help reduce redness, swelling and soreness from breakouts. And according to them, this can also be achieved using a sunbed. However, dermatologists highly discourage the practice saying people who experience sunburns are more prone to develop skin cancer and damage skin cells which can increase signs of aging. But for some, it’s a risk they are willing to take to get rid of their acne.
