Sun Damage

A natural sun tanned face makes us look healthy and glowing. And a bit of warmth on our faces simply makes us feel good so it seems unfair to know that the sun can actually damage our skin and too much sun can badly damage skin tissue.

The effects of sun exposure on your skin can be ageing and at worst, devastating.

While some of the damage is merely cosmetic, it can of course be more serious and any concerns should be raised as early as possible to ensure quick treatment.

Sun damage accumulates slowly over time, so for many of us, it is risking a lower sun factor protection in our youth or popping out without sunblock early or late season that contributes to sun damage.” /]
