So i stopped tanning when i got my BA since they say its bad for the scars. Since then ive started getting acne on my chin like i used to.
I used to have pretty bad cystic acne from about 18-21 and its no where near as bad as it used to be but i cant stand my skin right now.
Makeup covers most of it but the scars i get from the acne when it goes away and the acne just look terrible especially now that i dont tan
and my skin is just so naturally pale. I spray tan but that doesnt help the acne like i feel the tanning bed used to do. I always felt when i tanned the acne
got better and i dont know if it was because my skin was darker and it blended my blemishes in better or that the tanning dried out my acne a little.
So now im contemplating tanning in the beds now maybe just 2-3 times a week. But then i'll more than likely age alot quicker. So what's worse?
I mean im already into injectibles i've had restylane injected in my lips and i love it and i know within the next cpl years im sure ill try botox.
So a part of me thinks oh just get some botox whenever the time comes i need a little boost but then again my face wont be the only thing that i've got
to worry about. I know as women get older it shows in the neck and on the chest.
Im just twisted because i know tanning is a no-no but my skin looks like crap right now and i really want to do something about it. I've tried lots of things too like silk peels, facials and tons of different products.
Any thoughts? I just don't know whats worse pre-mature aging or acne..... Thanks in advance!

have you played around with your diet? processed foods, sugar, and refined carbs make me break out baaad. don't tan though, its just about wrinkles but also about skin cancer
