Why does exposure to the sun damages our skin?

Sun damage can wreak havoc on our skin, particularly our delicate facial complexion, causing a multitude of concerns that extend beyond mere aesthetics. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, diminishing our skin’s youthful radiance. Moreover, UV radiation penetrates deep into the skin, triggering cellular damage and inflammation, which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this damage can manifest as sagging skin and loss of facial volume, contributing to a prematurely aged appearance. Additionally, excessive sun exposure increases the risk of developing skin cancers, highlighting the critical importance of sun protection in maintaining skin health and vitality.
