Does sunlight help get rid of acne?

Yes and No

Many people think that getting a suntan helps fight acne, but this is actually a myth. It's true that tan drives pimples away, but that's only because ultraviolet rays burn the topmost layer of your skin to a nice crisp. As soon as that layer of skin is gone, the pimples will appear once more. And the same goes for sun beds and other artificial tanning devices. They operate on the same principle as natural tan and carry the same risks. Your best option is to get a sunscreen lotion because burning off your pimples at the risk of getting skin cancer is simply not worth it. Avoid oil-based sunscreens since the oil can clog your pores just as easily as sebum does.

Can you use rubbing alcohol to reduce pore size and firm facial skin?

You CAN use alcohol to tighten your pores, but at a price.

Your skin needs moisture, and alcohol depletes it of moisture. When your skin is dried out artificially, your body tells it to make more moisture (oil), which will wind up enlarging your pores. This is a vicious cycle.

A much better choice is to use products designed for this purpose, which will keep your skin balanced.
