I haven't used any exfoliants on my face for most of the summer. I was trying not to make my skin too sensitive to the sun so 4 days ago I did use a little Lactic Power 10, because my skin seems to be getting rough and the fine lines are showing up more now. How often should I be using the Lactic Power 10? I think I do get a little red if I use it too often in the upper cheek area near my nose and that is where it's rough feeling.

Anyway I'm planning a trip to the coast in 3 weeks and I don't want my skin overly sensitive to the sun. I will wear a physical sunscreen, but I do burn easily. So when should I stop using the Lactic Power 10 before being in the sun? Would a week be enough time or should I wait two weeks. I just feel I really need something for this rough feeling skin now.

Thank you

Di what I have read is that exfoliation usually increases Sun Sensitivity for around 14 days. I'm not sure what type of exfoliation they are referring to because I suspect something like a TCA would increase sensitivity far beyond the 14 days.

Before my vacation I stopped all exfoliation 2 weeks ahead of time. I figured on vacation who cares, do I want to impress people I'll never see again and don't even know or protect the skin.

Thank you Maxx.

I'll give it at least two weeks for sure then.
