Is Sun Damage Reversible?

 Sun damage is caused because of excess melanin (organic skin color pigment) manufacturing, which can be triggered when the skin needs protection against damage brought on by UV rays. Its consequences are reversible, however in case the concerned place is exposed without security, it could lead to hyperpigmentation and even skin cancer.




Sun damage can be classified into various degrees:

  1. Melasma – Brown patches appear on the face, especially cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin caused by sun exposure, cuts, or bruises.
  2. Freckles – They are small circular spots that develop in concentrated areas that are heavily exposed to the sun.
  3. Age Spots – Unprotected exposure causes skin cells to weaken, causing irregular brown spots that are darker in appearance.
  4. Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation (PIH) – Acne makes skin super sensitive to UV light. PIH is caused by the overproduction of melanin in reaction to skin inflammation.
  5. Uneven Skin Tone or Hyperpigmentation – Due to increased oil production, an uneven skin tone appears as patches of darkened skin.

Remedies to correct sun damage include:

  1. Kojic Acid Cream – Treats hyperpigmentation and minimizes the recurrence of discoloration.
  2. Vitamin C Serum – Seeps in immense brightening effects, removes blemishes and fine lines to restore natural hue and healthy-looking skin. It can be applied along with an oil-free matte sunscreen to fight off the impact of free radicals.
  3. Niacinamide Serum – It fades acne marks, fights acne, and controls sebum production.
  4. Retinol Serum – Reverses age spots, boosts collagen, and promotes skin cell regeneration to restore smooth and even texture.
Note: Each solution has been specially formulated to treat sun damage and maintain the positive results you’ve always desired to achieve.

Tips to avoid or limit the impact of sun damage:

  1. Sunscreen – Never skip sunscreen, especially during winter, as UV light is present even if the sun is not out. Use an oil-free matte sunscreen as sunlight will increase oil production, so you need to control that. Reapply after every 2 or 3 hours, depending on the intensity of the sun.
  2. Hydrate – Drinking water at regular intervals when under the sun will keep your body cool and prevent inflammatory reactions.
  3. Cleanse & Moisturize – Wash your face and apply cooling and oil-free moisturizer after getting away from the sun.
  4. Sun Hats & White Linens – It is said that white clothes keep your body cool during summers, so dress up with a sun hat for any occasion.

ACNE (Self-care)

  Try not to squeezeor pick acne lesions as this can aggravate them and may cause scarring. When you have acne, it is important to take treatment to control it as early as it appears. This helps to avoid permanent scarring and reduces embarrassment. You must use advised treatment for at least two months before you observe any improvement. Some creams may dry or irritate the skin initially. If you develop redness and irritation by a cream or lotion, stop treatment temporarily for a few days and use the treatment less frequently and then buildup gradually. Only use make up products that are oil-free or water-based. Choose products labelled as ‘non-comedogenic’ (do not cause whiteheads or blackheads) or non-acnegenic (don’t cause acne). Gently cleanse your skin and remove make-up with an oil-free soap substitute. Scrubbing can irritate the skin and make acne worse. Blackheads are not caused due to bad hygiene. There is little to no evidence that chocolate and “fast foods” cause acne; ho
