Can you get rid of acne with heat?

Well, in a sense, yes-ish. An excess of oil in your skin can clog your pores and cause acne. If you were to apply heat in the manner of sun tanning, then this could dry out your skin and help reduce the oiliness, which could help with acne. Also, a little color in the skin helps even out the redness of acne and rashes.

Heat from a sauna can make you sweat, and this helps to clean out your pores, but be sure to shower it off right away. Baby powder is another way to help dry the skin out.

Just don't light your skin on fire, because that's not going to help. :)
