Sun Damage In LOS GATOS, CA
We couldn’t survive without the sun, but the sun’s rays can be harmful to our skin. Ultraviolet rays can penetrate the skin and damage it.
Sun damage may appear as fine lines, sunburns, changes to skin tone, hyperpigmentation (such as brown spots), and even skin cancer. The skin produces melanin (a dark pigment) to protect itself from the sun, which is why sun-damaged skin becomes tanned or develops dark spots. Wearing sunscreen on a regular basis can reduce your risk of sun damage, but even with a lifelong vigilant effort, anyone could still develop skin problems due to sun damage.
