Is Summer Making Your Skin Worse?
UV Damage Explained & the Treatments That Can Help Restore Your Skin
Summer sun can make pigmentation, redness, dullness and uneven skin tone more noticeable. Discover how UV exposure affects your skin – and the clinically proven treatments available at Perfect Skin Solutions in Portsmouth.
What Is Summer Skin Damage?
Summer skin damage refers to the visible changes caused by increased UV exposure. These include pigmentation, melasma, dullness, rough texture and premature ageing as UV rays damage skin cells and stimulate excess melanin production.
How Summer Sun Affects Your Skin
UV radiation penetrates the skin and triggers a chain reaction beneath the surface. Increased melanin production can lead to pigmentation and uneven skin tone, while cumulative sun exposure contributes to dullness, dehydration and premature ageing.
