sun damage
While the sun gives us warmth and light, too much exposure can harm our skin over time. Sunlight dries out unprotected skin, depletes natural oils, and damages collagen — the vital protein that keeps skin smooth and firm.
Common effects of sun damage include:
Dry Skin – loss of moisture and natural oils leads to dryness, flakiness, and premature wrinkles.
Sunburn – painful redness or blisters after overexposure to UV radiation.
Actinic Keratosis – rough, scaly patches caused by repeated UV exposure; these require medical attention.
Photoaging – UV damage to collagen results in fine lines, wrinkles, and visible ageing. Over time, repeated sunburns and prolonged unprotected exposure increase the risk of skin cancers, especially for those with fair skin and light eyes. Protecting your skin with sunscreen, shade, and protective clothing is essential.
