Will you get acne from sunburn?

no, not directly atleast. If you get sunburned, though, your skin gets damaged and so it releases more oil as a reaction to the sunburn, and to "protect" it from UV rays (because oil serves as a natural sun block). Ur sunburned skin produces extra oil so u can break out. Sunburned skin will look dryer/tanner/better(?) at first, but trust me after the extra oil production kicks in it won't be worth it.
