DNA ENZYME TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS DNA DAMAGE The sun’s rays can take a toll on your skin. The sun prematurely ages the skin. Dermatologists refer to the damage the sun does to skin by several names, including photoaging, photodamage, solar damage, or sun damage. It happens when ultraviolet (UV) light hits skin unprotected by sunscreen, causing DNA changes at a cellular level. Because photodamage happens in the deepest layers of the skin—the dermis—it can take years before the damage surfaces and becomes visible.
What are the signs of photoaging?
Signs of photodamage begin in the teens to early twenties. Symptoms include the following: > Wrinkling > Pigmentation changes such as age spots, liver spots (solar lentigines) and freckles > Loss of skin tone (decreased elasticity) > Rough, uneven skin texture > Broken capillaries (spider veins), usually around the nose and chest > Redness and blotchiness
