A member asked:
If i want to use a self tanner and an aha glycolic acid of 4%, what would go on skin first to benefit from both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AHA and Self Tanners: If you wanted to use both aha and self tanner it would work best to use the aha to exfoliate the skin and then the self tanner on afterwards. Otherwise the aha will take the self tanner off of your skin and you would lose your benefit.
