It\u2019s no secret that the sun\u2019s ultraviolet (UV) rays are the number one cause of premature ageing, also known as sun damage. Some sunlight is alright as long as you have proper protection from overexposure and aren\u2019t stingy on the sunblock! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, too much exposure to the sun\u2019s UV rays<\/a> might mean eventual sun damage. These UV rays can penetrate the skin in the deepest layers, damaging and killing the skin cells. It can even alter your DNA! This can negatively affect your ageing process and cause premature skin ageing. This often manifests as brown spots, wrinkles<\/a>, fine lines, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tones and even skin cancer.\u00a0[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that no matter how much sun damage your skin has suffered, much of it can still be reversed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damage control with sunblock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already been using sunblock<\/a>, then start as early as you can. Getting the right protection for your skin can help reverse sun damage as your skin naturally repairs itself - producing healthy skin cells and collagen. Apply two fingers\u2019 amount of sunblock 30 minutes before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduce Retinol to your routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not pregnant, vitamin A is a definite must-have in your fight against sun damage. Retinol<\/a> is a derivative of vitamin A and helps increase collagen production and encourages cell turnover [2], both of which help reverse sun damage and treat sun spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When frequently used, it can retexturise your skin, even out dark spots and smoothen out wrinkles. Be careful with retinol as it can lead to irritation - so start with a lower dosage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Vitamin-C skincare products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stock up on antioxidants like Vitamin C to combat the harmful effects of sun damage. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and sun spot removal treatment that can help combat hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. It can contribute to the acceleration of collagen and elastin production, and you\u2019d be able to revitalise your complexion. With time, you may reverse the effects of sun damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Chemical Peels <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heard of BHA and AHAs? Chemical peels improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin to speed up the process of skin renewal. By exfoliating the skin, the new skin underneath may appear smoother, less dull and pigmented and reduce fine lines. As it is a form of chemical exfoliant, be gentle with the products you choose - Carry out a patch test first before applying it on your face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check-in for a facial treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides adding skincare products to try to treat sun spots and reverse the effects of skin damage, you can also consider popping by to a dermatologist or medical aesthetic studio for an extra boost of anti-ageing treatments. For example, the JetPRO<\/a> at Cambridge Therapeutics. Using advanced skincare jet propulsion technology, it works deep into the dermis while being non-intrusive and pain-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using the patented JetPRO handpiece, the jet streams place vigorous pressure on the skin surface to exfoliate the skin with water-based microdermabrasion. The skin will also be stretched to create microchannels and enable hydroporation to distribute a unique blend of nutrient-rich serums into the skin. This is all done while ensuring the client is comfortable and achieving visible results. Some helpful boosters are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
