[Skin Concerns] Increased facial hair growth since changing routine?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi guys!This may seem like an odd question, but I can't seem to get anything on Google about what's going on. I switched to chemical exfoliants (alternating between AHA and BHA each night) about 4 months ago after I did some reading here and found out the harm that St Ives Apricot scrub can do.Since then, I've seen a huge improvement in the texture and overall look of my skin! I am pretty happy with my current routine. For the record, I've got the oiliest T-zone in the history of the world, and some sun damage on my forehead. My routine at the moment is: AM:Splash face with waterNeutrogena Ultra Sheer Clear Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF30PM:Cleanse with The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing OilCetaphil Oily Skin CleanserNeostrata Ultra Smoothing Lotion/Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (alternate each night)Sukin Super Greens Facial Recovery SerumCerave in the tub The ONLY thing I have noticed since using the chemical exfoliants is a slight increase in the "peach fuzz" hair on my face. I'm not a very hairy person at all, and I'm a redhead, so my facial and body hair has always tended to be very fine and barely noticeable. However, the other day I saw myself in the mirror with the sun behind me, and the hair on my chin is SO MUCH longer than it used to be! It's still very light and fine, but the hairs are about half a centimetre long. I also found two hairs on my left cheek that were about 2cms long. Again, super fine and blonde, but still a bit odd. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? It's not a big enough problem that I'll stop using my chemical exfoliants, but I'm curious if I'm reacting to one of the exfoliants similarly to anyone else.Thanks!
