With the sun, acne problems seem to disappear. Our complexion is smooth, even and tanned! Unfortunately, this happiness is often short-lived, and a few days after returning from vacation, imperfections reappear. What is this phenomenon? How to avoid it?   

WHY DOES MY SKIN LOOK BETTER IN SUMMER?  

If you suffer from acne, you've probably noticed it: when the sun comes out, your complexion lights up and your blemishes disappear. The reason? The sun, which has an anti-inflammatory effect. UV rays reduce pimples and soothe skin inflammation. 

Chlorine, salt and the sun dry out your skin and at the same time your pimples. As a result, your skin looks clearer in summer.

WHAT IS THE REBOUND EFFECT?

Don't be fooled by this visibly healthier skin, the sun does not only have positive effects. 

Exposure to UV rays attacks your skin and throws it off balance. In order to defend itself, the epidermis thickens and tightens its pores. However, sebum continues to accumulate, creating blackheads and pimples under the skin. Acne will resurface once the skin is unclogged, that is, as soon as you return from vacation! The epidermis purges all the stored sebum; this is called the rebound effect.

To avoid post-sun pimples as much as possible, all you have to do is take a few precautions during your vacation.
