Sun damaged skin is skin that has been subject to the ravages of ultraviolet exposure over time. The sun's rays are extremely damaging to your skin, and at worst can cause skin cancer, and sun damage from excess UV exposure, including sunburn, is one of the principal causes of premature aging of your skin. This is what is known as photo-aging.

In the past it was not well understood how damaging excess UV can be to your skin. Millions of women, unaware of this, suffered from skin sun damage, including sunburn, in the quest for the perfect tan.
