Sunlight as a Natural Remedy: All three videos touch upon the benefits of sunlight for skin health, although each from a different perspective. The first video directly discusses the personal experience of the speaker with sunlight improving his acne and seborrheic dermatitis. This aligns with the third video's emphasis on sunlight's general health benefits, including for skin, through mechanisms like the production of Vitamin D and the release of nitric oxide by UVA radiation. The Role of Vitamin D and Nitric Oxide: While the first video focuses on Vitamin D’s role in skin health, the third video expands on this by introducing the importance of nitric oxide released through UVA radiation. Both Vitamin D and nitric oxide are suggested to have positive effects on skin health, which can indirectly influence acne management. Balancing Sun Exposure: The third video stresses the importance of balancing UVA and UVB radiation exposure. UVA is beneficial for its nitric oxide release, while UVB, although necessary for Vitamin D production, is associated with increased skin cancer risk. The suggestion is to gain sun exposure when the sun is lower in the sky, which could be beneficial for acne without the higher risks associated with excessive UVB exposure.

Dietary Considerations: The second and third videos highlight the significance of diet in managing skin health. The second video emphasizes gut health and dietary changes, indirectly suggesting that these factors could influence skin conditions like acne. The third video discusses the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and their impact on skin health and resistance to sunburn, which could be relevant for acne sufferers. Personal Experience and Lifestyle: The first and second videos include personal anecdotes and lifestyle changes, underscoring the importance of individual experiences and holistic approaches in managing acne. These approaches are not only about sun exposure but also about overall health and wellness practices. In conclusion, moderate and balanced sun exposure, particularly during times of lower UVB radiation, along with a healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in omega-6, can potentially be beneficial in managing acne. However, it's important to remember that individual experiences may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice is always recommended.

There are studies suggesting 10PM-1PM is the best time to get UVB needed for Vitamin D, and with less UVA risks as the UVB/UVA ratio is different than mornings (where it is mostly just UVA): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26547141/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18348449/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25207380/ Despite this, I think it is best to figure out what your skin type is, your heritage (what geographical region your skin is adapted to), and then based on that, figure out what the best time of day at your current location closes resembles the UVA/UVB ratio, and UV index of your adapted geographical region.
