ok so I am new here so forgive me for any mistakes I might make.. I am having a special occasion in a few weeks and though I know I probably won't be able to clear ALL my acne, maybe I can make my face look as good as possible. So what I was wondering is, is it a good idea to get atleast a little bit of sun everyday? when I say a little bit I mean around, thirty minutes a day.? I've heard it helps cover acne but doesn't really help. I have just a couple "zits" but mostly just are stuck with these acne red marks (i've had them for about to years). This is just really stressing me out and bringing me down cause I was never the "kid with acne" and I dont want to be know as one. anyway, excuse my rambling. so it is a good or bad idea to get some sun everyday to try and make my skin look better? will it make my red marks more inflamed? is sunscreen a bad idea for acne prone skin? please answer asap anybody. thank you for you're time.

I would say the sun exposure is not going to help your skin. Have you tried using the AHA? In a couple weeks, you can see an improvement in your skin and possibly some of the redness from your marks. If not Dans, check out the Hydroxy products you can get in the stores.
