Mallorca acne is a specific form of acne that can be triggered by a combination of UV radiation and certain sunscreens.
What causes Mallorca acne?
The main cause is the interaction of sunlight and the oily ingredients in many sunscreens. These clog pores and lead to inflammatory skin reactions. People with sensitive skin are particularly susceptible to these reactions. Heat and sweat can also aggravate the symptoms.
