There are those out there that are adamant that the sun helps clear up acne. There are others who firmly believe that the sun does not have anything to do with an acne free face. I only know that from my own experience, being out in the sun a little here and there has in fact helped get rid of that unwanted acne. I believe that I read somewhere that acne can be genetic, that the foods we eat determine whether or not we will have to fight those zits and pimples.

I like to go out and sit in the sun for about ten minutes a day and let the light do it’s magic. We have all heard that the sun is a great source of vitamin D as well. It’s like killing two birds with one stone! Sit in the sun, get your vitamin D and get rid of that acne. I don’t recommend spending more thatn 10-15 minutes in the sun without applying sunscreen. Obviously, sun damage is just as bad if not worse than acne. Actually I believe it’s much worse, so be careful when it comes to too much sun exposure.
