Does the sun favor acne or not? You may have heard that the sun dries the skin, which makes pimples disappear. Often, when you go to the seaside and spend a lot of time in the sun, you'll be tempted to think that the sun is your ally in the fight against acne. In fact, the process is more complex and, in the long run, you'll find the effects are undesirable.
A day, a weekend or a week in the sun can indeed make a temporary difference to your skin, but not for the apparent reasons. If you get a tan, your skin will become darker than usual, so red pimples will be less visible. Being less stressed on vacation is good for everything, including acne. Scientific studies have shown that stress is also an aggravating factor. So you may be tempted to think of the sun as your ally. In fact, when we spend more time in the sun, our skin dries out and our sebaceous glands start to produce excess sebum to compensate for dehydration. Pores become clogged and factors such as increased heat and humidity contribute to sweating, which can contribute to acne. Maybe not immediately, but after the vacation is over, many people experience a flare-up of acne. In addition, unprotected exposure to UV rays leads to an increased risk of hyperpigmentation, so acne blemishes will become more visible.
As well as heat, UV rays and sweat, the creams you use can also contribute to acne. Thickly applied products, greasy creams and oils can clog pores, and when mixed with sweat, dust and sebum, the skin forms the ideal breeding ground for acne.
First of all, we recommend looking at acne with tolerance and kindness. It is important to better understand what it entails, to inform yourself and then to better master the phenomenon and treat it correctly. We recommend a rigorous, simple but effective routine with Acnemy products, a special range for acne-prone skin. Yes, we know: living with acne can be complicated, but there are solutions.
It starts with proper hygiene. Cleansing and cleansing your skin in the evening and morning is a basic prerequisite for keeping it healthy, and in summer we need to be much more conscientious. Wash your face and body also during the day if you sweat, when you come in from the beach, a long walk or a sports session. Acnemy offers gentle skin cleansers containing salicylic acid and other ingredients proven to treat acne without irritating the skin. In addition, the lightweight textures of all products in the range allow quick absorption and do not clog pores. Products in the Acnemy portfolio have less aggressive formulas with effective acids. This is thanks to Nichosome® technology and brings you a range of products for acne-prone skin that provides all the steps you need for daily skin care.
Here's how the Nichosome® system in Acnemy products works. It is composed of phospholipids and ceramides that balance the action of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), thus regenerating the skin barrier. Thanks to this exclusive encapsulation of ingredients, which does not irritate the skin, Acnemy products have visible results so that you feel good in your skin. In addition, the Nichosome system allows the active ingredients to be transported 12 times more efficiently to the target areas, improving the delivery of the solution to the problem.
Salicylic acid is an exfoliant that helps treat lesions and prevent new ones from developing. Zinc is the mineral that soothes skin inflammation and controls sebum production. Niacinamide (vitamin B3 or niacin or nicotinic acid) is an essential element that supports many cellular processes, but also helps prevent and reduce skin problems, including enlarged pores, uneven texture and acne.
For a good summer routine, we recommend cleansing your complexion with Zitclean Purifying Cleansing Gel with salicylic acid, an exfoliant that helps unclog pores, and azeloglycine (azelaic acid and glycine), which has soothing and sebum-controlling properties. For the body, use Zitbody purifying shower gel, formulated with a blend of AHA (6% glycolic acid and 2% mandelic acid) and BHA (2% encapsulated salicylic acid) acids that work both on the surface and inside pores to deep cleanse, regulate sebum production and reduce the various signs of breakouts. Zitcontrol Cream Treatment with SPF 50 is a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection treatment that also contains salicylic acid to prevent and treat breakouts, zinc PCA to soothe and control sebum on the skin, Quora NoniPRCF to protect and rebalance the skin microbiome, and niacinamide to restore the skin and fade blemishes, help prevent further damage while also mattifying.
