A member asked:
Can the tannning bed really clear up my face and skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tanning is a trigger for acne and causes the cystic acne from the dermal layer to start. Once the acne is on the skin it will dry up with the help of acne products and prescriptions but it is important not to trigger it. Avoid stress, homone imbalance lack of sleep and tanning or sun damage.
