Acne.org Products
Right im 21 had moderate-servere acne since i was 16 and it dosnt seem to be going any where i have been on all sorts of medications im currently on 200mg Minocycline a day and 0.1 adapalene and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel
Last year i went on holiday for 2 weeks and spent most/all out in the sun and my skin cleared up 100% it didnt even look like i had acne after, just some scarring a month after i went away again for a week and again spent all day in the sun tanning by the pool and what not doing normal holiday stuff, skin still 100% clear 0 breakouts while away skin looked amazing and stayed fully clear for a good 4 or 5 weeks untill spots started coming back slowly it was the same story for the year before and for aslong as i can remember when i go away on holiday the sun clears my skin right up and its not just because im tanned its less noticable i dont get any more spots at all.
Im now thinking about going on tanning bed once or twice a month to see if it will help clear it up has anyone had success through doing this because so far NOTHING is working and im getting sick and tired now. i know about all the health risks of cancer to do with sunbeds but to be honest the amount of products i have thrown on my face and back over the years surely cant be good for your health neither what do people think?
I started tanning last summer(I'm a guy) I look way better tan, its relaxing and it helps acne ALOT. Same with me I always clear up when I go away on trips especially swimming at the beach. This is a good idea in fact I'm going to start tanning again starting in April. Just be careful because bp dries your skin out & can make your face red, so tanning can make your face look REALLY red. Happened to me, just remember to moisturize When your done.
Same here... My skin is the best after tanning too. When I'm vacations, I can totally forget about acne. Two years ago I experimented a lot with tanning beds and went tanning up to 8-12 times a month (which I'm not very proud of...). My skin was amazing and I don't exaggerate a bit. It was winter, it was the time I usually break out like crazy and nevetheless my skin stayed spotless or very mininum breakouts. Everything healed, had no scars and pictures from that period didn't need any photoshop. But after some time I noticed I got many small brown spots on my hands and belly. They're still there. The ones on my belly became slightly bigger. It made me realize it's too harmful to tan so much, so I stopped and my acne came back directly. At first I couldn't cope with this, so I was going back to tanning beds until I could get rid of that addiction.
Still I can't pass by tanning salons without thinking to go back to them... I'm secretly planning to try tanning again all the time.
Oh gosh, don't even start, seriously... You can't tan forever and it will make you age faster, besides, it doesn't eliminate the problem. Maybe it's better to take D vitamins instead, but I have no knowlegde about it, so maybe someone else will answer to that.

8/12 Times a month? Sheesh I got a one month tanning membership and tanned everyday for 30 Days. My face was soooo red but it eventually turned to tan. I also got those bumps and they itched like crazy but they went away after some time. I think they were heat rashes.
Well, I didn't enter any competition of who has tanned the most. 8-12 times a months is way too much, not even mentioning tanning everyday
? I was just saying. And yeah for you, your skin might not tan good. I'm Italian my skin seems to tan very well. I mean look at the jokesters on jersey shore they tan every day(gtl) and good skin....and they're Italian what do you know????
My skin does tan quite well, never gets too dark, but at least it doesn't burn red. But even for darker skin too much of UV exposure is harmful and does cell damage. I also read on skincancer.org that "indoor ultraviolet (UV) tanners are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who have never tanned indoors[...] new research has shown that those who make just four visits to a tanning booth per year can increase their risk for melanoma by 11 percent, and their risk for the two most common forms of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, by 15 percent.".
Better not...
The sun always clears my skin up but the risk of cancer is just too great for me to try sunbeds. Tanning everyday is a major risk, a red face and heat rashes! That sounds horrible! No matter how bad acne is its not worth dying for.
If tanning was so bad then it wouldn't be legal & celebrities wouldn't do it. Cmon now people smoke cigarettes & drink alcohol all the time which claim way more bodies Than "tanning beds"

Get your facts straight.
- Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers increased by nearly 77 percent between 1992 and 2006.1
- One person dies of melanoma every hour (every 57 minutes).
- Just one indoor tanning session increases users™ chances of developing melanoma by 20 percent, and each additional session during the same year boosts the risk almost another two percent
- 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. One in every three cancers diagnosed is a skin cancer and, according to Skin Cancer Foundation Statistics, one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

What a good example! Some terribly unintelligent and uneducated people (who by the way, look terrible with all that fake tan) on reality show do that, so it means it's ok...
thanks for the answers im proberly going to give it a go and see if it has much of an effect, yes there are health risks but thats life i wont go more than twice a month from what iv read the people who get skin cancer are mostly serial tanners i wil try it for 2 or 3 moths see what the results are.

Google is your best friend huh? & I never said there wasn't a risk. All Im saying if its SOO bad then why would it be legal & so popular. Lol
Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's not dangerous for health. Smoking kills millions of people every year and it's popularity doesn't get worse.
But think what you want, in the age of information ignorance is a choice. And yes, use google sometimes, it's probably will give you more valuable information than crappy reality shows and celebrities.
If people know the risks and decide to go ahead anyway that is their choice, but it should be an informed choice, not one based on 'everybody does it' 'it's safe as its legal'. Take your head out of the sand, smoking should definitely be banned in my opinion but the government makes too much money out of it, health is obviously not their primary concern all the time.

Your ignorant the point I'm trying to make lol.
If tannign helps your acne, you mgiht have a vitamin D issue. Supplement with Vitamin D instead of tanning.
