Sun damaged and aging skin is quite common and can come from spending too long in the sun causing the face to have a 'leathery' texture. The skin will also feel quiet tight and have visible wrinkles.

Ways to avoid having sun damaged skin can be making sure the skin is protected whenever it is exposed to the sun. Avoiding going out whilst the sun is at its hottest will reduce the risk of sun burnt skin. Avoiding sun beds will also reduce the risk of damaged skin and even skin cancer. If the skin is already sun damaged, it will need treating. Visiting the G.P will help to make decisions on what treatments would be more beneficial. Treatments can include having chemical peel. This is a procedure that strips the dead skin cells that have been damaged. When the skin becomes sun damaged, it is the collagen that suffers the most so having collagen injections can help the appearance of the skin by the reduction of wrinkles.
