I tend to get acne on my back (even more so in the sun). What sunscreen do you recommend?

Hello Ma'am,

In a situation like this, the most appropriate thing to do, in my opinion, is to use a mineral type sunscreen. This type of cream works by allowing the sun's rays to be reflected (rather than absorbed with "standard" creams). Why? Because this type of cream is not absorbed by the skin and rather stays on the surface, in addition to being very very effective.

These creams are available in pharmacies, and typically leave a white filter on the skin upon application. So you might want to apply them especially to areas of your skin at risk for pimples.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
