Acne scars in Chico in the form of dark spots are exacerbated by ultra violet light (UV).Slathering on sunscreen in the winter months is just as important as slathering it on during summer months. UV rays are still present during winter. They reflect off of roads, cars, buildings, sidewalks and onto our skin. UV penetrates clouds and glass. Protecting your skin from UV rays is one of the cheapest ways to keep looking younger.
Protecting your acne from UV rays is one of the best ways to prevent dark marks, otherwise known as post-hyperpigmentation, or what some refer to as acne scarring.
