Airbrush / Spray On Tan Cover Acne Scars??

Forgive my ignorance - I'm not a sun-worshiper (savin' my worship for Mutley) nor am I a girly gir so I don't know these things...

Are airbrushed tanning and spray on tanning the same things? Also, do they/does it cover acne scars? I am fortunate to have never had bad acne on my face and unfortunate to have had bad "bacne" instead. Lovely.

They are essentially the same thing, but some places call it different things. When I think of airbrush tan it is usually done by a person with an air brush machine (i dont  know if there is a title for it) you can get more of a customized look with this and they can spray you differently to simulate abs if thats your thing.
Usually spray tan is a machine that does two long swipes across your body.
I'm not sure if it would cover acne, I never really had much (but have spray tanned) and BF had acne but did regular tanning. I'm thinking (I may be wrong) that since it darkens your skin it would hide the blemishes a little better and cover the redness more. When my boyfriend tanned his back looked less broke out.

It will probably make the scars less noticable, but they'll still look slightly different than your base skin tone. It's worth a try. Certainly better for you than a tanning bed.

I would try the spray tan before you are going to use it for wedding or pictures of some sort. It should help cover a little but because it is a scar it won't hold the pigment as well
