Hiding Acne By Using Face Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Just about every teenager will complain, at some point, about acne. For them, this is equivalent to a life altering event when a breakout occurs before a date or other social function. For the kids that struggle with no only the occasional zit, but zits covering their entire face, it can be even worse. Luckily, face tanning lotions are a quick solution for hiding these breakouts.



Some people will suggest spending some time in the sun or a tanning bed to help dry out the skin so that the acne problem goes away. Some will even suggest going swimming in chlorine filled pool water to get the same effect. There is no available research to support these remedies as being useful. However, research or not, there are a lot of people that swear by these methods.

There are a few problems when it comes to using these methods. One problem is the over exposure to the UV rays from tanning because they increase the risk of skin cancer. The chlorine in pool water is also a problem because it has the tendency to excessively dry out the skin. Overly dry skin can be just as acne prone as oily skin. Face tanning lotions are quicker and more safe than other methods and can be used while treatment is being used to clear up the problem.



Makeup is a common go to solution for an acne problem as well, but the overall effectiveness of this method is lacking. Face tanning lotions cover problematic skin much more effectively. By having a tanned skin tone, pimples are easier to disguise and there isn't so much focus on them when they are on the face or the body.

Redness and inflammation is covered with face tanning lotions, while the acne bumps aren't as visible as they are on pale skin. Just covering the discoloring with face tanning lotions alone takes a lot of attention away from the area. Once the skin color has been evened out, covering or hiding the bumps themselves is a whole lot easier to achieve. The skin discoloration is typically the one symptom of acne that most people hate the most. It makes the face look blotchy and very unhealthy. Zits don't look so bad when the redness isn't present.

Face tanning lotions are applied in a thin layer that is lighter to wear when compared to having to use a lot of heavy makeup to get about the same result. Face tanning lotions do not cling to and dry around pimples, which only draws more attention to them. Instead, face tanning lotions cover them up completely and do not leave evidence behind in those areas.

Concealers are available with claims that they can cover any blemish, but in reality they are only effective on things like dark circles under the eyes. Foundation is also needed when using concealer so that the color can be blended in evenly. With the addition of the makeup, you are right back at the beginning of the problem with flakes again.

Face tanning lotions might have been created for a completely different purpose, but they are still safer and more effective than many other suggested methods for acne covering. Instead of over drying the skin or exaggerating the issue, face tanning lotions go on in a light layer and give the appearance of healthier looking skin within a few minutes.
