Tanning and Acne: How to Deal with Both

Dealing with both tanning and acne is tricky. Here's how to handle both.

The Challenge

  • Tanning treatments can irritate acne
  • Acne treatments can increase sun sensitivity
  • Need gentle, multi-purpose products

Safe Products

For Both Conditions


  • Niacinamide serum (brightens + controls oil)
  • Salicylic acid (exfoliates + unclogs pores)
  • Vitamin C serum (brightens + heals)
  • SPF 50+ sunscreen (prevents + protects)

Avoid


  • Harsh scrubs (irritate acne)
  • Heavy moisturisers (clog pores)
  • Lemon juice directly (too harsh)

Routine

Morning


  • Gentle cleanser
  • Niacinamide serum
  • Lightweight moisturiser
  • SPF 50+ sunscreen

Evening


  • Gentle cleanser
  • Salicylic acid (2x week)
  • Niacinamide serum
  • Light moisturiser
