Understanding Skin Aging and Photo Damage

Photo damage, primarily caused by sun exposure, significantly contributes to skin aging, resulting in issues such as deeper expression wrinkles, skin thinning, and discolorations. Individuals who frequently tan or expose their skin to the sun may notice these signs earlier than those who take precautions. For instance, a 25-year-old who tans regularly is likely to develop wrinkles more quickly than their peers. This emphasizes the need for awareness and proactive measures to repair accumulated damage and protect against further deterioration.
