Since it has been established that sun exposure accounts for most of the visible signs of aging, it only makes sense to stress prevention.
How many of us use a sun block during prolonged or deliberate exposure? The truth is that most of the damage to our skin results from casual, daily exposure. Harmful rays assault our skin while walking from the car to our destination, gardening, sitting in the shade, taking a walk and they even penetrate the car windshield. Unfortunately, most people don't consider this type of casual sun exposure “real exposure.”
Sun damage is no longer merely a cosmetic issue; skin cancer has reached serious, epidemic
More men than women generally get skin cancers, but women under the age of 40 develop them more frequently than men, possibly because of their sun tanning habits.

Men are twice as likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma on the left side of their faces.
? Women develop three times as many melanomas on the legs as men do.
? More women than men under the age of forty will develop skin cancer. Malignant melanoma is the leading cancer in Caucasian women between the ages of 25 and 35.
? Women have a better overall cure rate for skin cancer than men. They also appear to discover their skin cancers earlier than men, thus improving their chances for successful treatment.Go Back

The Effects of Sun Exposure on the Dermis
Beneath the epidermis lies the nutrient rich dermis. Fifteen to forty times thicker than the epidermis, the dermis is made of vital appendages such as sebaceous glands, hair follicles, nerve tissue, sweat glands, collagen and elastin.
During unprotected sun exposure, the sun's UVA rays penetrate directly into the dermis and can damage the collagen and elastin. Eventually the dermis becomes distorted where the collagen and elastin have been depleted. These distortions form deep wrinkles in the skin instead of just the superficial lines or textural changes in the epidermis.
To protect the skin from the aging effects of the sun and to prevent skin cancer, physicians insist on the daily use of broad –spectrum sun blocks.
The only known way to prevent pbotoaging is to avoid sun exposure. Since that is realistically impossible, it is imperative that you use a broad spectrum sun block on a daily basis.

The Effects of Sun Exposure on the Epidermis

Generally, before the age of 25, the dead cells of the stratum corneum lay in an organized fashion- much like the shingles on a roof. The skin appears moist, translucent, smooth and finely textured.
As an individual reaches his or her late 2O’s and early 3O’s, the subtle signs of cumulative sun damage slowly begin to appear. Perhaps the skin feels drier and lacks luster. Finer dry lines may appear and the overall texture and tone may be less soft and smooth. Although the changes initially be subtle, a defiantly difference in the skin's overall appearance can be detected.
Essentially, the stratum corneum is thickening due to damage from sun exposure. Abnormal or erratic cell development has slowed the rate at which the outer, dead cells “slough off,” causing the cell layers to progressively thicken. This prevents healthy skin cells from reaching the surface. As time passes, the skin loses its translucence and appears less youthful. Go Back

Short - Term Effects of Sun Exposure

When we receive a “sunburn,” the skin becomes very red, sore and sensitive to the touch. This is caused by dilation of blood vessels and stimulation of nerve endings. The skin will “bake,” to a dehydrated condition and will eventually peel due to the extreme dryness. Damage to the skin can be even more extreme if unhealed skin is re-burned.

Long- Term Effects of Sun Exposure
”Dermatoheleiosis” is the medical term for long-term damage to the skin caused by the sun.
Sun damaged skin appears more aged than skin that has been protected against the sun's harsh UVA/UVB rays. Coarse wrinkles due to a collagen and elastin breakdown creates a dry, leathery appearance. Hyper pigmentation is also a frequent side effect of long-term sun exposure.
• Change in shape
• Change in elevation
• The surface of the mole becomes crusty, oozes or bleeds
• Mole becomes itchy or painful
Individuals at risk of melanoma include those with a family history of malignant melanoma, a fair complexion or a record of numerous sunburns or excessive sun exposure. Even if an individual has had as little as one severe sunburn before the age of 18, she or he is at a higher risk of developing Melanoma. Go Back

Tips for keeping the Skin Young Looking
• Minimize sun exposure.
Remember, UVB rays are most prevalent in the summer months between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Wear protective clothing such as a hat, long sleeves and long running pants, preferably made of tightly woven fabric.
• Apply an approved UVB sun block every day.
• Reapply sun block after sweating, swimming and every two hours as long as skin is exposed to the sun.
• Apply sun block even on overcast days. Remember that UVA rays, which penetrate into the
dermis and damage collagen and elastin, are prevalent all year round, in every weather condition
• Certain medications may make skin more sensitive to the sun. Make sure you take special
care when taking medication that may cause increased sun sensitivity.
• Be aware of reflective surfaces such as water, snow, concrete and sand that intensify the
sun's rays.
• Always make sure that children are protected. Most of the sun damage that emerges as we age
is from sun exposure before the age of 18!
• Take special care when at high altitudes or closer to the equator, such as during ski trips and islands vacations.

Please use daily sun protection.
