I WOULD HAVE TO SAY NO

TANNING DAMAGES AND DRIES YOUR SKIN OUT

AND ZITS FROM GEAR IS CAUSED FROM INCREASED SKIN OIL!

NEVER HEARD THIS!! ANYONE ELSE HELP OUT?

I would have to disagree with this and say tanning does help out dramatically. The sun drys out the extra oil your body produces when taking a/s and has a lasting effect for several days after you tan. You will notice dramatically less oil on the skin. With a combination of retin-a or a cream with benzoyl peroxide 10% and some sun every few days you can expect much more clear skin. You could also try minocycline or a tetracycline which is not as drasctic as the accutane, but im not sure whether or not you could take that while on a/s.
