“Some people tend to break out more noticeably during the change of the seasons.'
in the summer, it may not actually be an improvement but a masking effect of the sun on skin redness. “You'll notice that the sun decreases redness. Since the sun suppresses the immune system, it, therefore, suppresses the immune cells in acne, which are the cells that create redness. The redness goes down because you're decreasing an inflammatory response, but when you decrease that immune reaction, you're creating a longer-term problem.
“When it comes to acne, there are often many different variables that need to be considered,” adds Dr. Saggar. “I once had a patient that only had acne on a specific area of her back. We were able to determine together that she wore a backpack over one shoulder which led to increased sweating on the subway during the summer in that one particular area.
Mieloch also has some advice regarding summer skincare journeys. “Any thick oils that can become easily rancid should be avoided. Also, sunscreen can contribute to breakouts if you don't cleanse the skin properly. Chemical sunscreens can sometimes cause reactions, as does over-layering products and using very thick makeup. Silicone-based makeup or products, too.”
Dr. Saggar agrees, and notes that “chemical sunscreens containing oxybenzone can sometimes cause contact dermatitis, specifically.”“One of the double-edged swords of acne treatments is that some of the most effective acne treatments, such as oral antibiotics like doxycycline, can make you very sensitive to the sun and lead to rashes with too much sun exposure, eventually causing hyperpigmentation,” advises Dr. Saggar.
Speaking to professionals reminded me that beauty is not just a two-body problem: me and a miraculous product, against the world. It’s always going to be a combination of things, working together, for better or for worse. Negotiating with humidity, diet, exercise – beauty is made up of our whole lives. My skin isn’t worse right now simply because the seasons are changing but all these other factors in my environment.
