Hey guys, is it true that tanning makes your acne go away? or atleast makes it so you dont see pimples and stuff? Because I noticed how everyone I know who goes tanning has perfect skin, and they where like !yeah tanning hides teen-acne" can anyone tell me if this is true?

Please know what you're talking about.
Thank you.

No. Actually, the sun gives you more acne. Whenever I go out in the sun and I haven't put on any Pro-Active beforehand, I break out like crazy! My mother is a liscenced dermatologist, and she said that it's true, so trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

Those lotions and tanning beds don't, either. There's a difference between looking tan and actually being tan. See, your skin gets burned and peeling and damaged and tan when it's exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. As a reaction, the melanin(the stuff that gives your skin pigment) in your skin increases, and you get tan. The tanning salons and lotions do the same thing that the sun does to your melanin, but because it's artificial, won't have exactly the same damaging effects of the sun. So you won't break out if you go to a salon, but the lotions could clog your pores and thus result in acne.

Everyone who is tan doesn't have perfect skin. I tan really well, but I certainly don't have perfect skin. It's just that the people you've seen (in real life) who are tan and have perfect skin are just the lucky ones who don't get acne. As for those gorgeous blondies in all of the bikini commmercials, the photo editors airbrush their skin so they look flawless, even when they're not.

Who told you that "tanning hides teen acne"?! Whoever it was doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. Idiots.
