I finally compiled all of my research on all things sunscreen/SPF. It's actually quite an interesting and important topic when it comes to acne. People with acne-prone skin want to make sure they're using a good SPF option that doesn't clog pores, and applying it in a gentle way of course.
Check out the new Using Sunscreen (SPF) on Acne-Prone Skin page.
[by the way, how awesome are the graphics that Paul (Real Maverick) made for this page!?]
