The 13 Causes of Back Acne (You Should Definitely Be Aware Of)

Sun Exposure 

Some people love being under the sun because they believe that the sun has recuperative properties and is suitable for their skin. However, it isn’t true for all people because, at times, exposure to the sun could aggravate existing skin conditions.

People who love sunbathing say that it can dry back acne faster. However, according to studies, it does precisely the opposite of what they believe it does. Exposing the back to the sun will not clear the back acne or eliminate the bacteria that cause such pimples to develop. Although the sun will dry up the acne, instead of curing the condition, it makes it worse because it will make the scabs and lesions darker, which means worse-looking scars. 

Sun exposure will dry the skin, but it needs enough moisture to keep it fresh and healthy. When the skin becomes dried out, the body responds by increasing sebum production, and it inherently heightens the chances of clogged pores. The sun also makes people sweat, which creates an environment where bacteria thrive, exacerbating the breakouts. Furthermore, skin exposure to the sun will also harden the surface and will make natural exfoliation more difficult.
