If you're like me, you've probably thought about whether or not tanning beds can cause acne, or actually make it better.
You've probably asked yourself, does tanning help acne?
Hopefully, I can help you clear some things up, for this can kind of be a confusing topic. It can go back and forth. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Do Tanning Beds Help Acne?
Although it'd be nice to say, and although it'd be nice to think, tanning beds do not actually help your acne, in the long run.
I say in the "long run" because initially, it may seem that your acne has improved from using the tanning bed. In fact, it probably has, for ultra violet rays have been known to kill off acne.
Do Tanning Beds Make Acne Worse?
In the long run, you'll actually find that using a tanning bed for over a long period of time can cause a number of problems.
If your acne doesn't get worse from using them, you'll find that you may,
- Develop lines and wrinkles sooner.
- Develop a leathery sort of skin.
- Develop skin cancer.
The Verdict!
Although tanning beds may initially improve your acne, in the long run, your skin will become damaged and be more prone to acne.
Don't use tanning beds in an attempt to clear acne!
