I had a friend who had a mild case of acne. I never thought it was as horrible as she described it, but apparently it would ruin her life forever. To combat this, she would often tan to try and hide the acne – after all, it almost seems to blend in with darker skin, right?
Unfortuantely, it appeared this wasn’t the best solution in the world. You see, tanning can actually cause acne to get even worse and spread! In short, tanning is only a temporary path in hiding acne. And while it hides the acne (though not perfectly, as anyone can attest to you who has tried this), the acne itself is still there and is probably only getting worse. Does that sound like a solution to you? I hope not!
This goes for people who don’t dliberately get tanned to hide their acne. Stay out of the sun to avoid getting worse acne, and hopefully you’ll be able to prevent any acne from worsening. try wearing a wide brimmed hat if you’re going to be in the sun, as shade will help the sun from doing as much damage to your skin.
