Do tanning beds really help get rid of acne? And how?
I have personally been tanning on and off for the last three years when I am tanning my face chest and shoulders clear up 100%, and continue to stay clear for as long as I continue tanning. Also the acne scars and any discolor on my face really evens out. It also helps my face stay less greasy. When I'm not tanning I have very oily skin and notice I have to powder my nose every time I look in to a mirror. If you choose to get a tanning member ship to help clear up your skin or get color I still recommend you try to not go every day.
Yes, this is true. When I tan in a tanning bed, my acne problem goes away completely. Even though, tanning is not an overall healthy thing to do, it DEFINITELY works for acne. The light rays and heat the bulbs putout, is very drying on the skin and acne clears up for most people instantly. I also notice acne scars become so much less visible.
tanning beds clear up existing acne because the UV rays kill the bacteria... however, it also damages and dries your skin, which usually causes new acne to form within a few days after the tanning session. I tan my face right before a big event, so that for the event I have no acne. I usually just get it a couple days later
yes it definitely does. last summer, i went on vacation and went tanning outside and all my back acne went away. so the sun helped me..but its the same as a tanning bed but my sister goes to tanning beds all the time and she doesn't have acne anymore. she said that it helped her acne a lot. people that say it doesn't work are just people that listen to all that crap about how it's a myth and have never been tanning.
