How The Sun Damages Skin

Of all the things that we can do to our skin exposing it to the sun too much can result in premature skin ageing. The sun is well known as the biggest cause of premature skin ageing and most of us now know to cover up or use a high SPF when outside. The sun is also a great friend to us as it lifts our mood but physically it plays an important role in vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D is one of the essential nutrients that we need and it is partly made when our skin has contact with the sun. So it is a catch 22 situation and we do recommend trying to get some natural vitamin D from the sun, but while taking exceptional care of the face and neck and being 100% safe.   

The sun's UV rays can break down the skin’s collagen, leading to wrinkles and age spots. It also plays a major role in causing skin cancer. Long-term exposure to the sun without protection can also cause blotchy discoloration of your skin, a leathery texture, and freckling.

It is important to take steps to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays as much as possible: wear long sleeves, trousers and socks when outside for extended periods of time; seek shade whenever you are outdoors during peak sunlight hours (between 10am - 2pm); use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher; wear a hat with at least a 2-3 inch brim; and avoid tanning beds.

It is also important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of sun damage. These can include wrinkling or dryness, freckles, age spots, discoloration, rough or leathery patches of skin, and growths that may appear on the skin. If you have any of these signs and symptoms it is best to see a doctor to get them checked out.

Be sure to check your skin regularly for any changes in appearance to catch signs of sun damage early. It is also important to keep up with regular medical visits so your doctor can check for suspicious moles and other signs of skin cancer. With appropriate protection and vigilance, you can help protect yourself from the damaging effects of the sun's harmful UV.
