Warnings About AHA For Stretch Marks

Sure, Alpha Hydroxy Acids are great for breaking down scar tissue and getting rid of stretch marks, but there are a few precautions you need to take.

1. Use sunscreen anytime you're going to be in the sun because these helpful acids can leave your skin less protected and more prone to sun damage

2. Be gentle with your skin, the acids have already done a bit of damage. Don't aggravate it any further by rubbing it too hard when towel drying or scratching at your treated skin if it feels itchy. Be kind to your skin by patting dry after washing and fanning the area with cool air if it itches.

3. Always use a skin regenerator to speed up the healing process. See my resources page for recommendations on the best products and processes.
