If you want to keep your tan but get rid of the acne make sure you use an oil free non-comedogenic moisturizer like oil of olay complete for sensetive skin. You don't want to cause more break outs. As far as the acne that's still there, spot treat it. Putting an acne mask on will make your tan fade fast, that would be to drying. Other things you can do to keep your tan is to not shower for at the very least 4hrs after you tan, and don't use hot water. If it steams up the mirror, it's to hot. Use the coolest you can tolerate. If you continue to go tanning, you're acne should disappear. This is my acne cure, I've done it for years. Nothing works better for me, and it has never irritated my skin more or caused more breakouts the next day.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

tanning doesnt help acne first and foremost, if anything the tanning would have probably irritated your skin mroe so expect the acne to grow. if it is tomorrow you need to look good for its too late already...
my recommendation at this point would be to sleep, keep your fluids up, and next time, use a bronzer and make up instead of tanning, it covers up your acne.
DONt leave a mask overnight, most masks have an exfoliating effect, leaving them overnight would ensure that your skin gets red and irritated and prone to further breakouts

Uses Jergens Face Glow Tanner,Uses all over your body so you match every where.A moisturizer should not effect tan,I
wouldn't think a Skin Medicine would either.There's face stain products too.Check it out at Estee Lauder's Make-up
Counter.Maybe on line.

If you are not careful you will just dry out your skin and make it look worse. The only thing that will make your tan last longer would just be to moisturize. You also are going to need to go to the tanning bed at lest once a week to maintain the color. Good Luck!

Usually the only acne meds to worry about in the tanning bed are prescriptions. They enhance cell replication & could cause you to get severly burned.
Try moisturizing with a self tanner. While it is moisturizing you, it will also help you get more tan.
