A: Look for a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen like Peter Thomas Roth Uber Dry Sunscreen SPF 30 that’s formulated for the face. These are less likely to irritate or worsen acne. If this doesn’t work, it’s important to wear a hat and avoid the sun as much as possible, especially between the hours of 10 and 2. This is especially important if you’re taking oral acne medications, which can increase sun sensitivity. |

A: Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, is a rating that describes how long, under ideal conditions, a sunscreen will work. Simply multiply the SPF by 10. For example, a SPF 15 sunblock will protect skin for 150 minutes before it needs to be reapplied. Keep in mind, however, that this period does not include sweating, swimming or other factors that can reduce efficacy. Always apply sunblock liberally and reapply often – especially if swimming or sweating.
