The Impact of Sun Damage on Your Skin

Sun Damage: The Culprit Behind Skin Texture Changes and Ageing

Sun damage isn’t just a matter of genetics; it’s a pressing concern for everyone in Brisbane due to high UV exposure levels. The effects of sun damage on your skin are profound and extend beyond mere ageing. Here’s a breakdown of the cosmetic changes that occur:

1. Texture Changes: The sun’s UV radiation disrupts the skin’s natural barrier repair, leading to a buildup of dry, compacted skin cells in the outer layer of skin (epidermis). The accumulation of dry, compacted cells results in a dull, coarse, and rough skin texture, robbing it of its youthful glow.

2. Reduced Collagen and Elastin: Collagen and elastin, crucial proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity, bear the brunt of sun damage. UV exposure decreases collagen production and damages elastin fibres, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

3. Glycation and AGE’s. The combination of sun damage and sugar in your diet can lead to a process known as glycation and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE). This results in the skin becoming thick and leathery over time.

4. Abnormal Pigmentation: Sun damage triggers abnormal pigmentation, manifesting as blotchy patches of discoloured skin. These pigmentation changes can mar the skin’s appearance and contribute to an uneven complexion.

5. Photoaging and Its Impact: Prolonged sun exposure results in a specific type of ageing known as photoaging. It accelerates skin ageing, leading to dry, rough skin with enlarged pores, increased susceptibility to moisture loss, and decreased skin barrier protection. Common signs of photoaging include fine lines, wrinkles, broken capillaries, and nose veins, which show the extensive damage UV radiation has caused.

As the effects of sun damage are cumulative, it’s essential to prioritise UV protection and adopt preventive measures to safeguard your skin’s health and vitality and prevent more severe problems, such as skin cancer.

The appropriate treatment options for sun damage and texture concerns on the skin’s surface may vary depending on the nature and severity of the changes.

Essential Skin Care Regimens for Treating Sun Damage and Ageing

  1. SPF 50+ Sunscreen: Besides keeping the sun off your skin (by donning hats and umbrellas) and avoiding the sun when UV radiation is at its highest, daily sunscreen application is a crucial step in preventing further damage to the skin from harmful UV rays.
  2. Prescription Retinoids: These powerful agents can effectively reverse photoaging, promoting a more youthful appearance by increasing cell turnover, reducing dead cell buildup, stimulating collagen production, repairing elastin, and evening out skin pigmentation.
  3. Barrier repair serums such as Rebound serum help protect the sun.
  4. Elementals BIOFORTIFY contains ingredients that reverse glycation!
  5. Elementals Cell CPR reverses cellular senescence and improves autophagy and mitochondrial function.
