What is Sun-Damaged Skin?
Sun-damaged skin, also known as photoaging, occurs when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Over time, UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, leading to various visible changes and long-term damage. Aesthetic Effects of Sun-Damaged Skin can manifest in several aesthetic ways, affecting your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance:
Wrinkles
and Fine Lines
UV rays penetrate the skin’s deeper layers, causing collagen breakdown, which leads to wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Hyperpigmentation
and Sunspots
Dark spots, also known as sunspots or age spots, are a common sign of prolonged sun exposure. They are usually found on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and shoulders.
Uneven
Skin Tone
Sun damage can cause an uneven complexion, with areas of hyperpigmentation mixed with patches of lighter skin.
Dry and
Rough Skin
UV exposure can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and a rough texture.
Loss of
Skin Elasticity
With prolonged sun exposure, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging and a less firm appearance.
