What Is Sun Damage?

Sun damage results from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, causing premature aging, skin discoloration, and increasing the risk of skin cancer. It can affect people of all ages and skin types, though those with fairer skin are more vulnerable. Major contributors include excessive sun exposure, inadequate sunscreen use, and tanning bed use. Sun damage typically appears on commonly exposed areas such as the face, neck, hands, and shoulders. Over time, the buildup of UV exposure can deteriorate skin health and appearance, highlighting the importance of prevention and effective treatment strategies.

Signs & Symptoms of Sun Damage

Sun damage presents itself through several noticeable effects on the skin’s health and appearance. Common signs include:

  • Sunspots or Age Spots: Flat, darkened areas caused by prolonged UV exposure.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Early signs of aging resulting from collagen breakdown triggered by UV rays.
  • Uneven Skin Tone: Discoloration and patchiness due to extended sun exposure.

Rough or Leathery Texture: Thickened, coarse skin developed over years of UV damage.
