Risks of Sun Exposure

Skin Cancer:

  • Sun exposure can cause skin cancer; however, skin cancer is not the most deadly cancer. Skin cancer is also determined by your genetics and DNA mutations in your family.
  • There are many types of skin cancer, and it is best to have moles, areas of pimples, or acne checked by a dermatologist. You should see one at least once a year.

Skin Ageing:

  • UV light changes the DNA and its expression, disrupting collagen production and thus ageing the skin.

Sunburn:

  • There is no direct relationship between sunburns leading to skin cancer. Also, skin ageing is accelerated even without a sunburn.
