Signs of Sun-Damaged Skin

When most people think of sun damage, they think of sunburn. Red, hot, peeling skin after a day in the sun. But in clinic, sun damage often looks very different.

It can show up as pigmentation that won’t fade, skin that suddenly feels rougher or duller, fine lines that seem to appear earlier than expected, or a complexion that no longer looks as clear and even as it once did. And because this kind of damage builds gradually over time, many people don’t realise what they’re seeing is actually the result of years of UV exposure.
