We’re starting “Sun Week” a little late in the week because YouTube was down on Monday and then we had a special announcement on Tuesday about TLC (The Learning Channel) doing a documentary about Acne.org! Check out yesterday’s video if you want to be a part of the documentary. Happy Sun Week!
Dan, I wanted to respond to the video you made a little while back about the moisturizer stinging. I am happy to say that the moisturizer has just about completely stopped making my face hurt or turn red at all. However, I have found that for some reason, if I don’t let the Benzoyl Peroxide dry completely on my face before putting on the moisturizer, it will sting. But, overall, I am very happy. I am on the third week of the regimen and can confidently say that I am on the way to clear skin!
This is definitely true for my skin, a few years back I spent a week in Africia, when I arrived my skin was covered with breakouts but after a day ot two in really hot weather they just disappeared. The sun seemed to kill off the bacteria and my skin was almost perfect for that week. Then I got back to the UK and after a few days my acne returned with a vegance.
I just try to avoid the sun in general, because I don’t want to age badly. I try to limit my sun exposure, and always use a SPF.
Whaaaaaa! Look at Dan rockin’ the stunner shades………………………………………BALLIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Dan, your skin looks amazing in this video! I’m jealous.
yeah it really does
Dan, do you think being on the regimen will prevent these types of breakouts though? I usually don’t get excessive sun exposure and if I’m going to be out that long I wear SPF. But I’m sure I will have some “fun in the sun” especially living in a cold climate most of the year, so hopefully I don’t experience any breakouts.
In my experience. The sun HELPS a lot with acne. For years it was the only way I could control my skin. It wasn’t that my skin was going red at all, the painful spots disappeared and my skin would clear up. I was never 100% clear but it was MUCH better than without sun.
I don’t care what any derm claims, with their scientific reasons as to why it’s bad. I know LOADS Of people who’s acne is helped by the sun.
IMO it’s one of those subjects that’s more subjective than you think Dan.
i would always avoid going to the beach because my back was sooo bad. If i tan for 3-7 days 15 min to 30 min each day i’m all clear! nothing else works this well!! come winter it’s bad again though.
Just realized that I am breaking out because my face got burnt recently. Great!
At least now I know why. Thanks!
