Sun Damage

WHAT IS SUN DAMAGE?

Sun damage, also known as photoageing, occurs when ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or tanning beds harm the skin’s structure.

Unlike a visible sunburn, sun damage develops gradually over time, affecting both the surface and deeper layers of the skin.

It can present in several ways, including uneven pigmentation or dark spots (sun spots), fine lines and early wrinkles, rough skin, dry skin, a ‘leathery’ skin texture, loss of skin elasticity, and redness or broken capillaries.

Sun damage can affect all skin tones and types and often becomes more noticeable with age.

WHAT CAUSES SUN DAMAGE?

The primary cause of sun damage is cumulative UV exposure from:

  • Sunlight (both UVA and UVB rays)
  • Tanning beds or sun lamps
  • Lack of consistent sun protection (SPF)

Even on cloudy days, UV rays can penetrate the skin, contributing to long-term damage. Other factors such as pollution, smoking, and dehydration may intensify the effects.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF SUN DAMAGE

Sun damage doesn’t just affect appearance; it compromises the skin’s health and resilience.

Left untreated, it can lead to premature ageing, uneven skin tone, and increased sensitivity. In some cases, long-term sun damage may also increase the risk of skin cancer.

At Beauchamp Aesthetics, our focus is on both repairing visible signs and supporting overall skin health – helping your skin look and feel its best while offering guidance on prevention.
