Why Sunscreen Matters for Acne-Prone Skin
To help maintain your acne facial results, daily sunscreen is recommended. Sunscreens work for only about 2.5 hours, and reapplication throughout the day is important. Sunscreen lotion helps create your first layer of protection, and sunscreen spray makes it easier and more convenient to reapply, without needing to touch your face with your hands. Using both helps support clearer-looking skin and protect your results.
