Is tanning good for acne?

Ok so I get asked this a lot. Everyone has a different story. Does getting a tan help get rid of acne. I can only speak from experience and say yes it does. Growing up I always had bad acne and when the summer time would start to roll around I would get some color and my acne would clear up significantly. Even now as I’m older I still get acne break outs. Here is another thing I have noticed. My wife is a teacher, so we usually take vacation on her spring break. We are totally pale from the winter and we always do about 3-4 tanning salon sessions before we head off to our tropical destination. I have to say that my skin clears up very nicely after the tanning sessions. Now I believe this is all in moderation. In the long run if you have bad acne and are tanning all the time and getting a lot of sun exposure you could cause some acne scarring in the long run. Its like anything else. Moderation, moderation, moderation. Also you want to make sure the you use a tanning lotion that isn’t too oily. I figured I wold toss my 2 cents out there about tanning and acne. Hope this helps some people out.
