Short answer

Sun-damaged skin is managed with consistent ultraviolet protection, gentle skincare, and treatments chosen for specific changes such as uneven tone, spots, lines or texture.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What it means

Photoaging is gradual skin change from repeated ultraviolet exposure. It may show as rough texture, fine lines, sagging, facial volume loss, sun spots or uneven skin tone. Sunburn is a separate acute injury, while persistent or changing marks deserve attention because some skin cancers can resemble harmless spots.

What to do

Use shade, protective clothing and broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin. Cleanse gently, moisturise, and avoid picking or repeatedly irritating rough areas. A dermatologist can match treatment to the concern, such as pigment management for Melasma or Sun Spots, resurfacing for texture, or other options after checking the skin. Do not treat a changing mark cosmetically before examination.

When to seek care

Arrange a skin examination for a new, changing, bleeding, crusting or non-healing spot, or for a rough patch that repeatedly returns. Seek prompt advice after severe Sunburn with extensive blistering, marked swelling, dehydration or feeling unwell.

Questions for your doctor

Which changes are photoaging, and which need a closer examination? What protection and treatment fit my skin tone, pigmentation pattern and current products?

Questions people ask

Can skincare reverse sun damage?

Skincare can improve hydration, texture and protection, but established changes may need a tailored dermatology treatment.

Should a sun spot be treated at home?

Have a new or changing spot assessed before cosmetic treatment, because appearance alone cannot confirm its cause.
