Sun Damage Treatment

A person that has sun damaged skin can sometimes appears older than he or she actually is. Sun spots, also known as age or liver spots, are caused by prolonged exposure to the sun, which results in the deterioration of melanin pigment levels in the body. This reduces the body's ability to absorb sunlight and protect the skin from UV rays, resulting in the appearance of dark spots on the skin.
