Don’t forget to take sunscreen off at night
“Just as important as putting sunscreen on during the day is taking it off at night,” says Fernandez. Sleeping with sunscreen on is ill-advised across the board by experts. Dr. Hopkins recommends washing your face after prolonged outdoor exposure and before bed to remove sunscreen and sweat buildup that can cause breakouts.
“Thoroughly cleanse skin and apply breathable products designed for acne so that while you sleep, your skin can heal and regenerate itself,” says Fernandez. “Proper and thorough removal will really help prevent SPF from causing acne.”
