It does help, but the only real cure for acne is time. Don't stay out in the full sun for more than 10 minutes at a time or you'll risk getting a sunburn. Wear sunscreen and a hat.

A lemon wedge. Before bedtime I apply lemon juice which acts as an exfoliate, helping dissolve any oils and trapped in gunk on my skin. I was using it to help fade a tan when I realized how quickly my mild/moderate acne also cleared up. Since I have extremely oily skin, the juice isn't strong enough to cause any excessive drying or other problems. If I had a severe problem, such as deep, cyst like acne, then instead I would be at a dermatologist's office exploring stronger options. As a teenager, I tried a variety of prescription treatments.

Water - yes. The more, the better. If you can stomach it, about a gallon of water a day will give you a beautiful glow and will speed up healing process of any breakout.
Sun - somehow. The tan will camouflage the redness and discolorations and dry out existing pimples. But excessive sun exposure will irritate skin and speed up the oil production, which can lead to more breakouts. If you want to be in the sun, use an oil-free sunblock and wipe the sweat with a blotting tissue. Do not over-clean your skin, not good either.

both can help, but minimally. Drinking lots of water is good for the health of your whole body, and it will cleanse some of the impurities that cause acne. Sun exposure also helps clear it up a little but, but getting too much sun runs the risk of skin cancer. I'd rather have acne than skin cancer, honestly (and I can say that, I've had horrible acne- I know how frustrating it is). What works best for me is a good exfoliating scrub like St. Ives Apricot scrub, and a non-greasy moisturizer. Moisturizing is important, because if your skin dries too much it will start over-producing oil.

Drinking lots of water a good thing being in the sun well you know the answer to that one. See a dermatologist and get what works best for you there are different kinds of acne that require different treatments my son had it very bad and he used antibiotics which cleared it up over time so check with your doctor.

well being in d sun will help dry up any excess oilyness and water helps prevent spots and flushes the skin from toxins. but actual acne is a hormonal imbalance and in many cases a heridatary factor

Sunlight can help, as can tanning beds, in that it tends to dry your skin. Acne comes from oily residue, which is common in teenagers going through hormonal changes. The best thing you can do is to wash your face regularly, don't wear oil-based makeup, and use astringent to make your face less oily. Drinking water makes no difference.
