Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. While skin aging is a natural part of life, UV rays accelerate this process, causing both visible and deep skin damage.
The Types of UV Rays: UVA and UVB
There are two main types of UV rays responsible for photoaging: UVA and UVB.
- UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, reaching the dermis, and are primarily responsible for the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This leads to wrinkles, loss of firmness, and skin sagging.
- UVB rays, on the other hand, mainly affect the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer, causing sunburn and contributing to the formation of dark spots and discoloration.
How Photoaging Affects the Skin
When UV rays penetrate the skin, they damage cellular DNA and stimulate the production of free radicals. This degrades collagen fibers and alters the skin’s structure, leading to deep wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and chronic dehydration. Sunspots, wrinkles, and dull skin are all visible signs of photoaging.
Photoaging can make a person appear up to 10-15 years older than their biological age, especially if they don’t use proper sun protection or targeted skincare products.
