Skin Associations
If skin pigmentation is due to excessive sun exposure expect the skin to be dehydrated, rougher in texture and dull in appearance.As a response to UV exposure the outer layers of skin will thicken as a way of protection. This will result in a dull, rougher texture.
Water is more easy to evaporate from the skin when excessively exposed to the sun due to the rise in temperature. This will result in dehydration where the skin takes on a crepy texture.
Because free radicals, damaging chemicals, are released in the skin this is a major cause of premature aging. Lines and wrinkles appear in much younger skin if regularly exposed to UV.
