When Your Skin Acts Up on Vacation: Causes, Myths and How to Prevent 'Mallorca Acne'

Answer

Why do I get acne-like bumps in Mallorca even if my skin is usually clear?

A change in climate, more sun, sweat, and humidity can make skin produce more oil and clog pores more easily. In Mallorca, that can be made worse by sunscreen, makeup, dry airplane air, and air-conditioned rooms. The result is often a temporary rash or acne-like breakout rather than true acne.
