05. Avoid Too Much Sun Exposure
For acne-prone skin during breakouts, it’s of high essence you protect yourself against the sun. Ultraviolet rays stimulate pigment producing cells, increasing the risk of acne scarring.
I will suggest you use natural sunscreens and to only get an appropriate amount of direct sun exposure daily (about 15-20 minutes most days).

Commercial sunscreens are packed with harmful chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. Research shows that coconut oil has an SPF value of 8, as does olive oil.
To use as sun protection, apply a moderate amount to exposed skin every couple of hours and try to avoid spending too much time in direct sunlight during “peak” hours, which is about from 10am-3pm each day.
