Photoaging

Photoaging is the visible aging caused by chronic UV exposure — wrinkles, age spots, leathery texture, and broken capillaries.

Photoaging explained

Up to 90% of visible facial aging is attributable to UV (mostly UVA), per peer-reviewed dermatology literature. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is the single most effective anti-aging intervention.
