does tanning help acne
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Yes, tanning helps acne but it won't help your scars. If anything it would make scars worse if you don't protect them. It took me about 4 weeks of tanning to see acne results, but it really helped dry up acne on my face and chest. If you exfoliate your face regularly, you can help the scarring, just make sure to wear a moisurizer on the scars while you tan and after. It sounds strange, but acne forms sometimes because you don't use moisturizer on your skin and it over produces its own oil because of it.
