Sun Damage
Sun damage is a common skin condition resulting from prolonged and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. It can manifest as premature ageing, hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Despite being preventable, this damage often accumulates over time, leaving many individuals seeking effective ways to repair and rejuvenate their skin.
Causes & Symptoms
The primary cause of sun damage is exposure to UVA and UVB rays from the sun or tanning beds. These rays penetrate the skin, causing cellular damage and breakdown of essential proteins like collagen and elastin. Symptoms include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Dark spots or sunspots.
- Uneven skin tone and texture.
- Redness or broken capillaries.
- Loss of skin elasticity.
Impact
Sun damage doesn’t just affect the skin’s appearance; it can lead to long-term health concerns. Prolonged exposure increases the risk of developing actinic keratosis and certain types of skin cancer. Aesthetically, this damage can make the skin look aged and dull, impacting confidence and self-esteem.
