Some Help For Your Sun Damaged Skin

January 28, 2009




eObviously, you know excessive exposure to the sun rays can cause damage to your skin. But the good news is that there is an abundance of treatments and remedies available to cure sun damage and restore your skin back to normal. While most of these cosmetic procedures can be carried out at home using the DIY kits, some others may call for professional intervention.

Chemical peels

These are chemical formulations which remove the outer most layer of your skin. The sun damage is concentrated around the upper layer of the skin, and when this layer is removed you have a layer of fresh skin coming out to surface.

The removal of the outer layer further promotes regeneration of new skin tissues. The new skin will be comparatively softer and smoother, and you’ll also see the fine lines that have emerged because of sun damage, fading away.

Collagen and Fat Injections

Collagen is a layer of fatty tissue present under the skin, which lends proper structure to your skin. And with sun damage this collagen breaks down and you see fine lines and wrinkles appearing on your skin. The procedure, of injecting collagen back into your skin, is carried out by a trained professional and the results are almost instantaneous. However, the results may vary from person to person.

Cosmetic Treatments

Sun damage can also be cured or reversed using over the counter cosmetics. Here is a list of some of the different types of cosmetics that you can use of to repair your sun damaged skin at home, all by yourself.

Anti-oxidants based creams: vitamin C and vitamin B are two of the most popular anti-oxidizing Vitamins, which can lend support to the collagen structure and thus nullify the effect of oxidation. caused by exposure to sun rays.

Vitamin A based creams: this is another vitamin that is vital to your skin health as it contributions towards stimulating regeneration of keratin synthesizing skin cells. Keratin protein is the building block of skin and hair, and its regeneration would imply a reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids Based exfoliators: these AHAs have the capability to remove dead cells from the upper layer of the skin and thus promote regeneration of new skin. That easily allows you to remove the sun damaged outer layer and enjoy a fresh looking skin.
