Photo damaged skin is skin that has been affected by the sun’s UV rays. Photo damaged skin can show signs of discolouration, wrinkles, and freckles, and can lead to skin cancer.
Photo damaged skin is also called -
• Sun damaged skin
• Photoaged skin
• Solar damaged skin
Skin that is photo damaged is caused by being overexposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays. This happens when a person spends too much time in the sun, without proper UV protection from suncream. When this happens, your DNA is changed at a cellular level. You may not think you’ve damaged your skin, but photo damaged skin can take many years to appear at a surface level as the initial damage occurs on the dermis – the skin’s deepest layer.
If you’re looking for a product you can use at home to help treat photo damaged skin, look for tretinoin cream. This is a good option if you’d like to help repair fine lines and wrinkles, and pigmentation caused by the sun.

Yes. If you continuously spend too much time in the sun without proper skin protection, then the sun’s harmful UV rays can cause damage to your cellular DNA. Once this happens it’s possible that your cells can begin growing abnormally and out of control. This is when skin cancer can occur.
