Fact or Myth: Sunbathing is a good way to clear up acne.

barbie tanPeople believe that sun helps to clear up their acne because a tan masks the redness of a breakout and may in fact dry pimples up a bit faster.

However, over time, sun exposure causes breakouts rather than clears them. With every tan, cell turnover increases, building up more dead cells. As these dead cells pile up, pores become blocked, causing more breakouts.  And perhaps a higher risk of skin cancer, not to mention premature wrinkles and brown spots!
