What is Sun Damage? Brown Spots?

Did you know that Sun damage is the #1 cause of Aging……It’s not what you see….it’s what you don’t see that’s causing your skin’s complexion to look dull and less radiant.

On the skin’s surface you just may see the “tip of the iceberg” of sun damage (a brown spot or two), but you don’t see what’s really making you look older, all the sun damage that lies beneath.

80% of your skin’s aged appearance is caused by the sun, not the passage of time.  And the damage caused by UV exposure that lurks under the skin’s surface is also visible on your face; it causes your complexion to appear dull, sallow, uneven, and aged.  See for yourself how the sun has damaged your skin over time.  Compare the skin on the inside of your arm with that on the outside of your arm and the backs of your hands.  For most people, the skin on the inside is smooth, clear, firm and unmarked; while the skin on the outside is “dry toasted”, freckled, finely lined, not as firm, and possibly dotted with brown spots.  With the right treatment and prevention, you can reverse many of the effects of past sun damage and make a huge difference in how your skin ages going forward.

People are just beginning to understand that sun damage is an enormous problem.

It’s estimated that over 50 Million people suffer from acne, but at least twice as many people suffer from sun damage.  That is 1 in 3 people!

What is sun damage and how does it occur?

It’s what actually makes you look older;  the dullness, muddy-looking, lack of brilliance spots.  (Wrinkles don’t matter as much!)

Sun damage effects everyone!

As soon as you step outside, you’re being hit by damaging UV rays…rain or shine.

Running at sunrise or sunset, getting the mail, during your commute to work, sitting near a window; any incidental like this you’re getting sun exposure.

20 min per day over a year is equivalent to a 2 week, 8 hour per day vacation baking in the sun.

There are ways that have been created to reverse the damage.  Some treatments are with chemical peels, exfoliants, and lasers.

Whether it’s dullness associated with sun damage beneath the surface of your skin or obvious pigmented changes that are visible for all to see, you will be best served by treating the whole face.

These testimonial photos are from a regimen used with a process which included: exfoliation wash, toner, lightener and brightener, and a sunscreen to protect your skin.  I spent less than 5 minutes in the AM/PM and noticed a significant difference in 30 and 60 days with the multi-med therapy products created by 2 re-known dermatologists.  This 4 step regimen significantly reduced my sun damaged brown spots.

Living in AZ, we are exposed to more sun than almost anywhere in the country.  That’s why we need to take proper care of our skin.

Most women attempt to take care of their skin.  Some of today’s makeup has some SPF protection in them, but makeup only masks or hides the sun damage.  Men are just as prone to sun damage as women.  Men need to protect their skin too.  The sun and skin do not recognize the differences in gender.

It’s not too late to make changes.  Using a daily regimen which includes sunscreen can help reduce your sun damage.  You can make a difference with the proper skincare regimen used and the proper clothing worn.  Now is the time to think about changing your skin to change your life.  There are dermatology products created for home usage that can help you revive your youth.
