orphans answered Sunday July 22 2007, 11:41 am: hey i work at a dermatologist office
acne is caused when sweat glands beneath the skin swell up past the top layer of your skin, the epidermis.
anything that can make you sweat a lot can cause it, if you dont have a good oilage drainage.
so if you normally dont have acne, then tanning wont give you more
but if you go tanning, i seirously ask you to wear sunscreen.
you can get a "safe tan." you would not believe all the patients ive seen come in the office with horrible skin. theyve got all these spots and moles from overexposure to the sun, and they always tell me to not go in the sun, since im young [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

mariahneu answered Sunday July 22 2007, 12:06 am: Despite rumors that it does prevent acne, it actually doesn't. It actually makes you break out more, because your skin can get to dry, so your hormones send a message to produce more oil, which results in lots of clogged pores and pimples...
music4life14 answered Sunday July 22 2007, 12:03 am: well ever since summer...i haven't been gettnig break outs. I think the sun just nurioshes your skin. I have no clue why it does it...i'm just thinking haha. Maybe its the vitamin D?? MAYBE
i'm not sure about TANNING beds...if that's what you mean..but..maybe it does?
the only time i got acne is when i put on too much makeup, and didn't take it off properly.
