Common Disorders Caused by Sun Damage
Wrinkles
UV rays can break down collagen and elastin, two proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.
A 2012 study of Central Europeans, for example, showed those with early signs of wrinkling on the neck were over four times more susceptible to melanoma (a type of skin cancer) than the general population. Freckling on the back also showed over three times the risk.
Freckles
Freckles are flat small tan or light-brown spots on sun-exposed skin. Freckles are more common on the face of red-headed, poorly pigmented individuals.
Some people have freckles that fade away almost completely in the winter and return in the summer.
