1. Tanned Skin

Tanned Skin

Some people don’t understand how easily skin can tan, and the more you tan your skin, the more you simultaneously have a direct effect on the health of your skin. When the melanocyte cells in the epidermis layer of your skin develop a darker shade, the skin shows the appearance of’ tanning.’

2. Possible Skin Disease

Possible Skin Disease

Unfortunately, it is exceedingly likely to gain skin diseases because of repeated overexposure to the sun and harmful UV rays. Both carcinoma and melanoma are forms of skin cancer that can develop from sun overexposure because of skin damage. This is another reason it is so important to use sunscreen that it can really be life-saving.

3. Leathery Skin

Leathery Skin

Melanocyte cells in the epidermis layer of the skin give the appearance of a tan. The lower epidermis level also serves as a shield against damage of UV rays. The top layer of the epidermis thickens as the lower level forces cells upward as you’re tanning as cells come to safety like armor. So, when your skin gets darker, literally, you are deliberately making your skin harder. Therefore, some people, both in touch and appearance, who tan regularly have leathery skin.

4. Sunburn

Sunburn

If you have skin that sunburns quickly, then it is practically a guarantee that for every red blotch of skin you are experiencing skin damage. Sunburn is most often mild and can heal within a couple of days to a week. But if you have a nasty case of sunburn, second-degree burns might be incurred. If this is the case, even the top layer of skin, the epidermis, will burn the skin below. The level of your dermis may be badly harmed, and the skin may blister and scabbing, and even look wet. It could take several weeks to recover if your sunburn is this drastic.

5. Wrinkles and Dark Spots

Wrinkles and Dark Spots

6. Extra Moles and Freckles

Extra Moles and Freckles

While we all naturally have moles, because of over-exposure to the sun, certain skin tones are more susceptible to developing a greater number of moles or freckles. This occurs when melanocyte cells clump together. Fair-skinned individuals are more likely to soak up the sun for mole growth, which can be harmful if those moles become irregular.

7. Early Aging

Early Aging

Pre-mature aging is one of the clearest effects of not covering your skin when baking in the sun. For a prolonged period of years, constantly leaving your skin under the heated microscope of the sun’s rays would add more years to the appearance of your skin. It is said that sunscreen is one of the best anti-aging resources in your arsenal that you need.
