Although AHA is great at removing the top layer of dead skin cells for a smoother, fresher appearance, these dead cells also act as a protective cover to healthy, new cells underneath. Because the new cells are more sensitive and susceptible to sunburns, it’s important to keep exfoliated skin well-protected.Recently exfoliated skin can sunburn more easily, so don’t scrub yourself right before or immediately after tanning. Exfoliating your skin actually promotes a more even tan later on, but make sure to wait a few days before you catch some rays. May we suggest the TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30. TiO2 Sunblock also contains high-end moisturizing and nurturing ingredients, which means you can use it in place of a regular moisturizer when going outdoors.
