The sun can damage our skin in a number of different ways, with some effects being more serious than others. Sun damaged skin will typically present itself in the form of burning, redness, scabbing, tanning or pigmentation. Many think that sunburn is the only form of damage, but even a golden suntan can be sign of sun damaged skin. Over stimulation to the sun without adequate protection can cause damage to the skin’s cellular DNA.
