How Sun Exposure Impacts Hydration, Collagen & Texture

Sun exposure affects the skin in multiple ways – some visible immediately, others accumulating over time.

Hydration Loss

UV and heat draw moisture from the skin, weakening the barrier and leading to dryness, tightness, and rough texture.

Collagen Breakdown

UV radiation speeds up collagen degradation, contributing to fine lines, sagging, and loss of elasticity. This process, known as photoageing, accounts for up to 80% of visible ageing.

Texture Changes

As moisture decreases and collagen breaks down, skin can appear uneven, dull, or crepey.

Supporting your skin with hydrating skincare, antioxidants, and consistent SPF helps slow this process and maintain long-term skin health.
