has using sunscreen CHANGED your skin in any way?
hear me out i know that sunscreen doesn’t DO anything like removing hyperpigmentation of evening skin tone (the way other skincare products do) - it’s more of a long term protective and preventative measure that PREVENTS the above rather than remove HOWEVER…
…have any of you noticed a difference when you started? sunscreen i’m ashamed to admit is the one part of my routine that I neglected ever since getting into skincare (had some bad reactions to chemical sunscreens in a while back)
i use retinol and aha/bha and have thankfully had no irritation except for like a one off due to the extra sensitivity. today i borrowed someone’s non ab sunscreen and it got me thinking like…damn i use all these products what if not using sunscreen makes it all useless (darkening spots/hyperpigmentation) this never crossed my mind before.
don’t worry, i’m going to start using sunscreen. but just curious to know if any of you saw a difference after a few months like for example actually seeing the benefits of you other products, apart from the minimising signs of aging part.
