Sun damage check, compare sun exposed skin to non-exposed areas of your body - e.g. derriere - see a difference?
9 reasons to wear your sunblock for repeated sun exposure which is responsible for...
- Brown pigmentation changes such as a sun tan, freckles, brown spots, liver spots, uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation caused by over active melanocyte cells producing too much skin color signaling the first signs of sun damage. More than 90% of sun damaged skin presents darker color changes before the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines.
- White spots or hypopigmentation presents no color or pigmentation of your skin tone producing irreversible or permanent white spots, very noticeable in women over 50 when combined with natural loss of pigmentation due to age.
- Red flush common in the upper chest below your neck region. Telangiectasia (tee-lang-jeck-tah-zee-ah) is the permanent dilation of small blood vessels called spider veins often on your face, neck and chest giving your skin a constant red flush.
- Wrinkles that are premature or accelerated aging called photoaging. Over time the thin "velcro" like layer holding the top layer called the epidermis and the second layer called the dermis together is flattened allowing the two layers to slide in different directions causing bruising. UVA rays shrink and crack the collagen and elastin fibers causing loss of volume and flattening in the dermal bottom layer, now the surface epidermal layer hangs off your body like "baggy clothes" with loose and redundant skin.
- Tough skin, epidermal thickening occurs as a protection against the sun’s radiation and the texture can be rough to the touch. Clients often say they have "tough skin" and never feel pain or discomfort.
- Blackheads or senile comedones (KOM-e-dones) are caused by repeated sun exposure prominent on people with sun exposed jobs like construction and road workers, and years later on your shoulders after three bad sunburns.
- Actinic keratoses or "sun callous", actinic is the Greek word for sun and keratoses is the medical name for callous, precancerous scaly lesions.
- Basal and squamous cell carcinoma and the fastest rising cancer melanoma. Melanoma rates in children less than 15 years old increased by 60% between 1992 and 2001 according to the National Cancer Institute. The melanoma rate nearly doubled between 1973 and 1994 for people ages 15 to 29 increasing about 10%, and is the most diagnosed cancer in women ages 22 to 29.
- Cataracts, the clear lens in your eyes turn cloudy and thicken as a protective response to sunlight.
