PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 07, 2008 – QAR Reveals Ultraviolet Rays of Sun Damage Hair Follicles and Stimulates Sebaceous Glands for Overproduction of Sebum
Atlanta, Georgia, 01/05/2008 – Department of research writing at QAR reports that studies show sunbathing or sun tanning may further aggravate acne and other skin disorders as sunlight contains ultraviolet rays that are quite damaging and hurting to skin specially for hair follicles.

Although exposure to sunlight is necessary for healthy growth, long bathing or tanning is obviously harmful. People tan in sunlight as it destroys bacterial colonies within hair follicles. Though it destroys bacterial colonies successfully, it damages delicate epithelial cells which are extremely susceptible to ultraviolet rays.

Most studies revealed that doing so not only aggravates acne but also causes other skin disorders like sunburn etc. White skinned people are more prone to sunburn than black skinned people as their skin contain less melanin.

Therefore, avoid direct exposure to sunlight, wear sunscreen, use rejuvenating lotions etc reduce the risks of getting severe acne and other similar disorders.
