How much time can i tan my face if i'm using acne medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tanning and Acne: First, we don't know what "acne medications" you are on. Second, You absolutely cannot expose your face to UV light to "tan". You will have significant breakouts and hyper pigmentation. But I'm sure your doctor has reviewed this with you before.
