7. Tanning to Clear Acne
Adding some color to your skin may reduce the red appearance of acne, but this remedy doesn’t help anything improve. These false reports have driven far too many people to the beach or tanning bed in a desperate attempt to rid themselves of their pimples.
Rather than heal your skin, tanning only increases your risk of dryness, irritation, burning or inflammation. Tanning is also responsible for increasing your risk of premature aging and developing skin cancer later in life.
Those who have been prescribed acne medication, topical or oral, are advised to stay out of the sun and refrain from tanning due to the risk of extreme skin sensitivity as an effect of their prescription.
