Sun exposure is one of the most common factors influencing changes in the skin over time. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation penetrates the skin and can affect both surface layers and deeper structures, contributing to visible and underlying changes. These changes may develop gradually and can continue to progress even after sun exposure has occurred.


Sun damage can present differently depending on individual skin type and history. Common concerns include:
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Sun spots and freckles
Redness and visible capillaries
Fine lines associated with environmental exposure
Dull or tired-looking skin
Rough or uneven skin texture
These concerns may appear on the face, neck, chest and hands, where sun exposure is most frequent
