How Tanning Helps Acne?

Myth: Getting a Tan Helps Clear Up Skin.
Fact: Even though a tan may temporarily cover the redness of acne, there's no evidence that having tanned skin helps to clear up acne. People who tan in the sun or in tanning booths or beds run the risk of developing dry, irritated, or even burned skin.

Can tanning cause acne?

Breakouts – Tanning, like any UV exposure, can dry your skin. This can stimulate production of more oil, leading to acne breakouts and blemishes. Dry skin – For the same reason, tanning beds can cause dry skin and make your skin itch, flake or develop rashes.

How can I tan my face with acne?

Fake tanning your face when you have acne is pretty much the same as fake tanning your face if you didn't have acne. It's best to use a fake tanning product for the face that's non comedogenic, which means that it doesn't contain oil that will block the pores and cause further acne spots.
