I started using tretinoin, and forgot to wear sunscreen on the day I spent many hours outside in the sun.
A couple days later I noticed dark spots underneath my mouth, undoubtedly caused by sun damage.
I will continue to wear sunscreen and use my vitamin C serum... but how long does it take for this to disappear?
I know skin turnover rate is 1-2 months, so if I keep up the sunscreen protection, will it go away by then?
Just crazy how messing up one day can set you back weeks.
Thanks.
PS: let this be a warning: do wear sunscreen when you are using any medicine which promotes exfoliation. New skin is fragile and summer is coming.
