Does getting a tan help with acne?
MYTH: ‘Getting a tan helps clear up acne.’
Umm, no it doesn’t! We do not recommend baking your face in the sun when your skin’s playing up.
For some people getting a bit of colour can even out a patchy complexion and makeup has the same effect with zero risk. The word ‘tan’ is really just a nice way of saying ‘sun damage’, and we all know that sun damage and our skin aren’t friends.
The only way to guarantee a healthy, glowing complexion is to look after your skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturise morning and night, gently exfoliate 2 – 3 times a week, eat well, exercise regularly and ALWAYS wear sunscreen.
If you’ve got a skin question, we’d be happy to answer it - just let us know!
