Did you know that some skincare ingredients can cause photosensitivity, making you more prone to burning and developing skin discoloration? Photosensitivity makes you sensitive to sunlight, causing a rash or sunburn-like symptoms, and it can be triggered by medication or products applied to the skin. Skincare ingredients that can cause photosensitivity include fruit enzymes, AHAs, retinol, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't use these ingredients in your skincare routine. All you have to do to protect your skin from damage and sensitivity is to use these ingredients at night and apply sunscreen in the morning.
