Believe it or not, sun exposure contributes to 80% of the visible signs of skin aging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re here to explain the effects of this phenomenon\u2014also known as photoaging\u2014plus take the necessary steps to help prevent and repair it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-role-of-sunlight-on-the-skin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_role_of_sunlight_on_the_skin\"><\/span>The role of sunlight on the skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun is an important part of life, contributing to our mood and well-being, while playing a key role in vitamin D synthesis. However, the Sun constantly emits something called electromagnetic radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds complicated? Do not worry. You are already familiar with a few types of these rays: ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). These two types of solar radiation affect your skin in the short and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging-pic.jpg 501w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging-pic-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What is photoaging or sun damage?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_photoaging\"><\/span>What is photoaging?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Photoaging means when the sun prematurely ages the skin and without skin care this can lead to skin cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aurora Garre, Medical Director of ISDIN, says, \u201cPhotoaging refers to a process in which UV rays accelerate the signs of skin aging, such as dark spots and the appearance of aging lines. Here&#8217;s how that happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_UV_rays_reach_your_skin\"><\/span>Step 1: UV rays reach your skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those UVA rays we mentioned are responsible for long-term skin damage and photoaging. By penetrating deep into the skin and breaking down collagen, UVA rays contribute to the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and its effects develop gradually and slowly without you noticing. Unlike UVB rays, they do not cause sunburn or immediate changes to your skin and are always present. UVA rays reach you when you&#8217;re outdoors or indoors, passing freely through windows and causing long-term effects on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Too_much_sun_exposure_causes_the_production_of_free_radicals_in_the_body\"><\/span>Step 2: Too much sun exposure causes the production of free radicals in the body<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This UV radiation can in turn stimulate something called free radicals (unstable molecules). Free radicals break down proteins in the deepest layers of the skin, causing cellular and DNA damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Step_3_The_body_tries_to_fight_harmful_free_radicals\"><\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp; Step 3: The body tries to fight harmful free radicals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, your body has a natural defense against these free radicals: antioxidant production. &#8220;Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and counteract the effects of UV rays,&#8221; explains Dr. Garr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Step_4_When_everything_is_too_much_signs_of_aging_appear\"><\/span>&nbsp; Step 4: When everything is too much, signs of aging appear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when free radicals become too many for your natural antioxidant defenses to deal with? This is called &#8220;oxidative stress&#8221; and it is what leads to the visible signs of aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_damaged_skin_perform_against_sunlight\"><\/span>How does damaged skin perform against sunlight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin aging is a natural (and inevitable) process. Over time, our body slows down the production of elastin and collagen, causing the skin to lose its elasticity. What about when we add sun damage to it? Dr. Garr admits that &#8220;exposure to the sun can cause the signs of skin aging to appear up to 20 years earlier.&#8221; While the signs of aging are certainly nothing to fear, you probably don&#8217;t want to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photodamage or sundamage is the main cause of these common skin concerns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fine lines and wrinkles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fine-lines-and-wrinkles-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fine-lines-and-wrinkles-3.jpg 180w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fine-lines-and-wrinkles-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Fine-lines-and-wrinkles-3-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dark spots and uneven skin color<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dark-spots-and-uneven-skin-tone-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dark-spots-and-uneven-skin-tone-3.jpg 180w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dark-spots-and-uneven-skin-tone-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dark-spots-and-uneven-skin-tone-3-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lack of freshness and dullness of the skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dullness.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dullness.jpg 180w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dullness-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Dullness-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loss of skin firmness and laxity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Loss-of-firmness.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Loss-of-firmness.jpg 180w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Loss-of-firmness-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Loss-of-firmness-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_skin_aging_caused_by_light_be_prevented\"><\/span>Can skin aging caused by light be prevented?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are four key things we can do to take care of our skin and prevent photoaging. It is necessary to create these habits in protecting the skin from the sun, and the sooner the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_a_good_sunscreen_every_day\"><\/span>1. Use a good sunscreen every day.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily use of sunscreen reduces the amount of UV rays absorbed by the skin and protects it from exposure to the sun&#8217;s harmful rays. So, make sure you protect your skin from the sun&#8217;s rays every day and in every season. Using a mineral sunscreen with a high SPF (at least 30) is very helpful in preventing sun damage. It&#8217;s also very important to be consistent, so make sunscreen a staple part of your morning skin care routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_sunscreen_correctly\"><\/span>2. Use sunscreen correctly.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some quick tips on how to apply sunscreen the right way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Pay special attention to sun-exposed areas, especially your face, neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9 and hands, to help reduce the visible signs of photoaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Include sunscreen in your morning skin care routine. Apply 20 to 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Use the &#8220;two lines&#8221; rule for the face. To protect your face and neck, spread two lines of sunscreen from the end of your finger to the tip of your finger. For body sunscreen, in general, two shots of sunscreen are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging_suncream.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging_suncream.jpg 501w, https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/photoaging_suncream-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use sunscreen correctly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Lips are also susceptible to photoaging, as the skin on them is very delicate.

Try to limit sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are usually at their highest. Or check the current UV index in your area for the most accurate information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Cover_your_body_with_clothes\"><\/span>4.

These helps correct blemishes, even out skin tone, and reduce the intensity and number of dark spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If wrinkles are important, go for ingredients with moisturizing and firming properties such as hyaluronic acid. This hydrating acid plays a role in skin repair and fights the appearance of fine lines, which you can use to rejuvenate and rejuvenate your skin through gel injections and fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_sunscreens_that_have_better_performance_and_more_impact\"><\/span>3.
