Can You Use a Self-Tanner if You Have Acne?

Can You Use a Self-Tanner if You Have Acne?

Posted in Acne At Home Treatments by . | Leave a Comment

Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer–a time when sun-kissed skin and glowing complexions are the order of the day. There’s no reason not to flaunt a faux glow even if you have acne. There are many self-tanners on the market that are completely fine to use on acne-prone skin and will not lead to more breakouts. Here’s what you need to know about self-tanning and acne:

  • Look for a gel formulation, they tend to be less oily and more lightweight. Try Clarins Self-Tanning Instant Gel.
  • Exfoliate the skin before using a self-tanner to get rid of any dead skin cells. This will create a more even surface for self tanner.
  • Make sure the self-tanner you use says “non-comedogenic” on the label.
  • Only use the self-tanner once a week.
