Hello Interloper!

When it comes to our skin, it’s not just sunburn we have to worry about when we’re out in the sunshine. Excessive sun exposure can have some nasty long-term effects, one of which is premature skin ageing (otherwise known as photoaging).
UV radiation changes our skin at a cellular level, affecting the deepest point – the dermis. That’s why signs of ageing don’t happen immediately, but as we get older, lines and wrinkles begin to increasingly appear. In fact, up to 80% of skin ageing can be attributed to UV radiation.
But wrinkles aren’t the only thing we need to worry about. Excessive sun exposure can lead to something much more serious: Skin cancer.
