Sun Damage - Picture, Product, Treatment of Skin Damaged by Sun

Sun damage contributes significantly to the formation of wrinkles. Cumulative sun exposure over prolonged periods of time contributes to what dermatologists call photo aging. Damaged by the sun's ultraviolet rays, photo aged skin can have a rough texture, irregularity of color and tone, wrinkles, fine, threadlike blood vessels (called telengectasias), and brown spots called sun freckles.

Wearing a daily sunscreen or moisturizer containing a sunscreen is the best way to prevent sun damage. Luckily, we have ways today to reverse or remove some of the effects of sun damage.

Renova is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved prescription anti wrinkle cream that has been shown to reverse sun damage to some extent. When used nightly for several months, prescription strength glycolic acid creams can also reverse some of the sun damage. Chemical peels and laser resurfacing performed by the dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon can also help. Your dermatologist can help you decide which treatment is best for you.

Muscle strength, endurance and flexibility all increase when you work out. Bone strength and density also improve, making bones less liable to fracture when you become older.

Beauty Tip

The 100-strokes rule of hair brushing has its roots in necessity. Before hair conditioners were invented, women relied on hair’s sebum to moisturize strands – getting the sebum from hair’s root to hair’s tips required vigorous brushing.
