Skin changes are among the most visible signs of aging. In Redondo Beach, looking good is important, especially in the beach. But, too much sun can be damaging for your skin. Some dermatologists like Dr. Sanusi Umar from FineTouch Dermatology in Redondo Beach, can use ultraviolet (UV) photography to show his patients how the sun has damaged skin of patients, leading to a much more aged look. Evidence of increasing age manifests itself in people with too much sun exposure, and this includes wrinkles and sagging skin.
Your healthy skin does many things for you, aside from giving you the appearance you want. Your skin protects you from the environment, helps control your body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance in your body, and contains nerve receptors that allows you to feel sensations such as touch, pain, and pressure throughout your body.
Skin changes have been related to environmental factors, genetic makeup, nutrition, and other genetic factors for people. The greatest single factor, though, is sun exposure, which leads to aging skin. This can be ultimately seen by comparing areas of your body, which have regular sun exposure, with skin areas that are protected from sunlight on a regular basis.
Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light also cause sun damage, premature aging and may lead to skin cancer. Consult with a dermatologist is you have sun damage. Redondo Beach dermatology can assist.*
