The Myth of Tanning as an Acne Treatment
It’s a common misconception that tanning can help clear up acne. Many believe that spending time under the sun or in a tanning bed will dry out their skin and reduce breakouts. However, this is far from the truth. The reality is tanning can exacerbate acne and cause long term damage to your skin. If you’re struggling with acne, it’s essential to understand why tanning isn’t the solution and what effective alternatives are available, like NeoClear.
Why Tanning Doesn’t Work for Acne
Acne is primarily caused by the P. acnes bacteria, which thrives in an oxygen free environment. When your pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, it creates the perfect setting for these bacteria to multiply. Unfortunately, tanning does nothing to introduce oxygen into your skin. Instead, it can lead to a temporary drying effect that prompts your sebaceous glands to produce even MORE oil, leading to further breakouts.
The Effects of UV Exposure
While it might seem like tanning improves your skin in the short term, the long term effects are detrimental. UV exposure can lead to:
Increased Oil Production: As your skin dries out from tanning, it compensates by producing more oil, which can clog pores and worsen acne.
Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause sunburns, hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Premature Aging: The sun accelerates the aging process, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of skin elasticity.
NeoClear by Aerolase: An Actual Solution
NeoClear is a revolutionary treatment designed to tackle acne at its source. Unlike tanning, NeoClear addresses the root causes of acne and promotes healthier skin without the damaging side effects of UV exposure.
How NeoClear Works
NeoClear introduces oxygen into the skin, creating an environment where P. acnes bacteria cannot survive. This immediate influx of oxygen kills the bacteria, reducing the number of active breakouts.
NeoClear also uses heat to target the sebaceous glands, causing them to contract and produce less sebum. This process helps to control oil production without drying out the skin, preventing future breakouts.
The treatment coagulates the capillaries within inflamed pores, reducing the inflammatory response. This not only helps to calm active acne but also minimizes the risk of scarring.
In addition to killing bacteria, NeoClear stimulates collagen production, which helps to rebuild the skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars. Collagen is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and a smooth texture, making it an essential component in acne treatment.
The Benefits of NeoClear Over Tanning
Targeted Acne Treatment

NeoClear is a safe, non-invasive treatment with no downtime. Unlike tanning, which exposes you to harmful UV rays and increases the risk of skin cancer, NeoClear promotes skin health and rejuvenation.
Long-Lasting Results
While tanning may offer a short lived improvement in your skin’s appearance, NeoClear provides long-lasting results by treating the underlying causes of acne. Regular sessions can help maintain clear, healthy skin without the risk of damage.
