    this is very true. in the summer i was at the beach trying to get a tan as much as i can so i can cover my acne. it was covered as long as i had my tan and it didnt seem like i had acne anymore. then later on when the fall season was coming i was losing my tan and all my acne is now showing. my face looks terrible with all the acne. trust me you wont have clearer skin by tanning. ur acne will all be shown when u dont have the tan.
