Would tanning at a salon help acne?

Actually, tanning is only a temporary fix for acne. It proceeds to dry out your skin and while it may clear up the current pimples, your skin is so desperate to hydrate itself that it starts forming oil at a faster rate = more zits in the long run. Don’t do it!

first off, it costs a lot of money, and my sister did when she was my age and they said its external not internal so they suggested proactive..

I’ve been using proactiv actually. and I dont think its been helping because everyday I get more pimples. and where the sun hits me/ where im tan, is where I dont have any acne at all. but theres no place I can tan thats outside because I dont want anyone watching me. its embarassing. so thats why I think a tannning bed would work..

Tanning doesn’t clear up acne, no. You need some ointment type stuff to clear up your acne, I would consider ProActive if I were you. I’m sure the tanning could make your acne a little less noticeable, but it needs to be treated.

Yeah try the foaming wash I have never had this prob but someone in the family did NO TANNING and if your embarassed you may have low self esteem?… Don’t worry about what other people think! The truth is that when you are thinking that they’re judging you they think the same.

Yes I agree it would help. The reason I say this is because I developed a skin rash which turned into a red scaly, itchy patch. The doc said it would be greatly helped by using the tanning beds. Sure enough it disappeared within the first five tans!

The doc said the tanning lights were invented to help heal skin diseases, but when they realized the effects of the lights (tanning the skin) they began selling them as tanning beds instead.

no, sun damadge ot light damdge doesnt hela, fix, otr help anything tanning beds can cause cancer, those things are very dangerouse if you want to clear up acne try a specialized routine of cleanse, tone and moisturise… and use products that fight off acne for your skin type id recomend starting with somethimg like the “clean and clear” range

Have you considered seeing a Dermatologist?

no. tanning probabobly woulndn’t help, but you can try Nuetregena foamingwash.
