some people think that tanning can have a good effect on acne outbreaks this is as far away from truth as there can be. i know where the thinking is coming from. sun exposure provides the skin with the necessary vitamins that we need. but when it comes to acne they might not be that helpful as although the skin gets the vitamins tanning the body opens up the pores of the skin. when you sweat the bacteria comes on to the skin but since you are there for some time this sweat seeps back in to the pores and form acne.

The other way that tanning can cause acne is through the over exposure of the sun. as we know that the sun causes irritation on an acne filled skin and this can make your acne condition worse. so make sure that you avaoid the sun if you are suffering from acne. if you have to go out then make sure that you use a sunscreen lotion with SPF more then 25.
