Preventing Skin Discolouration: The Importance of Early Sun Protection
Being mindful of the damaging effects of UV radiation and adopting sun protection habits before the age of 20 can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing skin discolouration later in life. Early awareness and proactive protection are key to maintaining an even skin tone as you age.
Ageing skin can be a source of concern, especially for women, as societal expectations often link a woman's attractiveness to the absence of visible signs of ageing. Characteristics of ageing skin, whether on the face or body, include the formation of fine and coarse wrinkles, pigmentation changes, dullness, a sallow complexion, dry texture, loss of elasticity, sagging, and volume loss.
Common Cosmetic Concerns: Pigmentation, Redness, and Discolouration
Ageing skin is often accompanied by cosmetic issues, from pigmentation problems and uneven skin tone to redness caused by enlarged capillaries. These issues are particularly prevalent in areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and décolleté. Photo-ageing, primarily caused by ultraviolet light, tends to affect the skin's surface, resulting in sun freckles, irregular pigmentation, and dilated blood vessels, all contributing to an uneven complexion.
