Has anyone heard of tanning to cure back acne?

can someone explain to me how this would work?Has anyone heard of tanning to cure back acne?
Because the UV rays dry up your skin (reduce the oils) the appearance of some pimples will lessen or they will go away. I think with a tan most skin just looks a little healthier, and it has been from my experience that skin clears up a bit after going tanning.Has anyone heard of tanning to cure back acne?
I don't have the total scientific cure but, when I get sun on my back (or face) the acne dissappears. The sun has anti-bacterial properties and helps with acne. The modern dermatologist has problems encouraging people to take sun for problem acne because of the high rate of skin cancer. They used to recommend sun exposure to eradicate acne and psoriasis
Tanning you skin, dries it out....


Also take into consideration that acne isn't gonna be as visible on tan skin as compaired to white skin.
There are some rays of the sun, some in the the ultra-violet range, that will benefit your back and help to dry up acne, but there are safer ways today. See a dermotologist so you won't scar. I have a client who scarred something awful using just the sun. A dermotologist or esthetician can suggest lamps, and creams and back facials(they really do work well) for you that will provide great results. Good luck.
i assume it has something to do with the harmful rays that tanning uses- think of this- if it can kill achne, whatz it doing to your skin!?
because the UV rays kill the bacteria that causes acne
I'm not sure if it'll do anything positive for acne, but tanning skin actually damages the skin
i dont think its appropriate to do.. naaa.. i dont think tanning ur skin will help
Sun tends to dry out the skin, so, some sun might be beneficial, to help acne, on the back. You should check with a Dermatologist, sun can cause more harm sometimes, than good.
Quick fix, yes, it works. However, don't forget about your personal hygiene when you get out of the tanning bed. Be sure and take a shower before or after you tan because as you probably know, sweating can cause breakouts. ...
Ultraviolet rays can diminish but not cure achene. Time and luck will do that. Antibiotics will help control it. See your Dr.
no I have never heard that it I would think that it would make it worse, I have heard that the best is proactiv from friends of mine
um........no. try acne medicine
