Sun-damaged skin
Are you, or have you ever been, a sun worshipper who loves the look of tanned skin? If so, chances are you've been sunbathing too long and have suffered sun damage to your skin in the form of lesions, eczema and wrinkles. Nowadays, effective skincare treatments are available to repair sun-damaged skin.
Sunburn - a sun injury
When we are in the sun and exposed to UV radiation, the first effect is usually a burn - a tan. The sunburn is in fact a first-degree burn. Some skin types never really get a tan, but instead the effect is a burning, itchy and red skin. If you continue to sunbathe in this state, you risk a second or third degree burn.
Why do people get sun damage?
All sunlight contains ultraviolet radiation, but it is UVB and UVA that cause the most damage. Some medicines amplify the harmful effects of the sun and you may have been advised by your doctor to avoid the sun.
Common sunburns are:
- Brown spots
- Age spots
- Wrinkles
- Actinic keratosis
- Liver spots
- Other misspelling marks
