say goodbye to sun spots
Sun damage to the skin is caused when the UV radiation in the sun’s rays penetrates your skin cells down to the DNA and actually cause damage on a genetic level. These damaged cells then become dysfunctional in a variety of ways, from losing the ability to produce collagen and elastin, which supports the skin and gives it firmness and youthful plumpness, to losing the ability to slough off layers of dead skin cells, leading to a dull, muddy appearance.
In addition, sun damage causes the top layer of skin to thin and also induces a rise in pigmentation. Worst of all, the dysfunctional cells could turn cancerous. From a visual perspective, sun damage produces dry skin which may show the following symptoms:
- Fine and coarse wrinkles
- Freckles
- “Mottled" pigmentation (discoloured areas of skin)
- Sallow skin tone
- Broken capillaries
- Sagging, inelastic skin
- Pre-cancerous lesions and benign tumours
- Skin cancer
always stay protected
Sun damage can be reduced by the use of a high quality SPF, which should be used daily, even through the winter months.
