Tanning
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.

Heyy. Of what i know, i think tanning is bad because eventually when you are older, too much sun can give you skin cancer. don't believe me? ever see those old ladies with the totally wrinkled skin & its really tan? that's what you're gonna look like in 50 years if you lay out in the sun too much. & fake tanning is even worse. so, if you really want to get skin cancer or some health problem, don't tan. bronzer looks good though...:)

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.

The heat in the tanning beds can help to kill acne and the darker skin also camouflages inperfections. However, it is true that overuse will lead to skin spots and wrinkly dry skin as you age. The best cure for acne in my opinion is to wash your face with 2.0% salicilic acid ( This can be found in some Neutrogeana products or in the product Murad) and to put Benzol Peroxide on it at night ( This can be found in some Oxy or clearasil medacines - read the label). Self- tanners can exacerbate acne by clogging pours, however, there are some great products out there that really make you look tan. If you get your skin cleared up with the medicine I would either go for a Mystic Tan spray or use L'oreal Sublime Bronze. Good Luck!
