We all love the sun, and given a choice we would like sunny weather all year. That is why California, Florida, places in Asia are such popular holiday destinations! Year round sun! Although, with the sun, comes the risk of long term skin damage! The main types of skin damage is fine lines and wrinkles. Over time the sun's UV rays damages fibers in the skin called elastin. The fibers break down, and the skin begins to sag, stretch, and loses its ability to ping back into shape.
Discoloration of the skin. This manifests itself as brown freckles and patches of darker permanent pigmentation on the skin. Broken blood vessels, prolonged exposure to the sun causes this, mainly it appears on the face, especially on the nose. It is harmless but it's ageing. Your skin will try to heal its self by increasing the blood supply to the sun damaged area, resulting in a proliferation of broken blood vessels!
Ways to repair this sun damage to your skin would begin with drinking loads of water. It won't get rid of the wrinkles, but keeping your skin hydrated will improve the appearance of your skin. Improve pigmentation: there are plenty of over the counter products that will improve your pigmentation and bleach brown spots. They are not often as strong as those supplied by a dermatologist but the results are still good. Retinol. This cream can produce new collagen, but they cannot repair the elastin fibers.
Exfoliation is a good way to remove dead skin build-up. A smoother surface will give a nice reflection of light, making skin look even and you can appear younger! Eating foods high in antioxidants. Cherries, walnuts, and asparagus are all good sources of antioxidant melatonin, which protects the skin against UV radiation and stimulates new cell growth!
Have an awesome day and keep smiling xx
Love & Peace
