I heard it makes your skin more sensitive to sun and more prone to sunburn if you stay out without sunscreen. Is this true? If so, how much more sensitive to sun? A lot or just a little?What is Alpha Hydroxy Acid?
For the long-term health and appearance of your skin, you certainly should get in to the habit of applying sunscreen every day, rain or shine, especially when you are using an AHA or BHA product. Since these topical exfoliants work to remove layers of sun-damaged skin, it is vitally important that the fresh, new skin is well-protected from UV light. Ironically, the sun-damaged layer of skin (which the AHA or BHA products nicely remove) serves as your skin's first line of defense against sun exposure. Think of it as a callus that offers minimal protection while keeping your skin from looking and feeling its best.
