Simply hot water works!

Never knew about this as I would always wear sunscreen whenever I go out. I feel that hot (lukewarm water I suppose) would make your skin dry but yes, I agree, if it's working for you then good.

Unprotected sun exposure for 10-15 minutes daily to help clear bacne -- will it prolong my bacne hyperpigmentation scars?

I think that's not a good idea. First of all, the sun's rays are harmful especially during 10am-4pm. I agree with SimpleMutton, use products which should lighten them up and using sunscreen especially...
