Sun damage, also known as photoaging, refers to the premature aging of the skin due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources. It can lead to changes in skin texture, colour, and elasticity.
What Causes
Sun Damage

Sun damage is caused by exposure to UV radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. UV light damages the fibers in the skin called elastin, leading to premature skin aging. This damage accumulates over time, even from brief exposures, and can significantly affect the health and appearance of the skin.
What are common symptoms of
