4 Reasons to Protect Your Skin from Sun Exposure
Melanin is a pigment responsible for protecting our skin from harmful UV light as it can burn the skin, reduce its elasticity and cause premature ageing.
Here are some of the dangerous effects the sun has on your skin and what they could lead to:
Skin Damage
Exposure to the sun can lead to short- and long-term skin damage. While some people love tanning, the sun severely damages particular skin types, leading to a slowed healthy skin cell turnover rate.
Over time, repeated exposure leads to dull, uneven, and dry skin with the appearance of blemishes, dry spots, and clogged pores. Sun damage can also cause your skin’s elasticity to decrease; it can cause the small blood vessels to stretch, adversely affect collagen production, and result in wrinkles and mottled, reddish skin.

Skin Cancer
In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause different kinds of skin cancer. The three major types of skin cancer, namely squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma, can occur even on those parts of the body that aren’t completely exposed to the sun.
The harmful UV rays can pass through the layer of clothing to incur damage. This is precisely why experts emphasize using an appropriate sunscreen to limit the chances of skin damage or cancer. For those that work outside for longer durations, it is a must.
Dehydration
Dehydration occurs when the body is low on water. When it becomes too hot outside, the sweat glands get to work and releases sweat which moisturizes the skin and keeps it cool from overheating.
Heat strokes are common in the summer, as exposure to the sun can cause damage to various parts of the body. As the temperature goes up, the human body becomes exhausted past its thresholds and fails to keep itself cool via sweat.
In both cases, our skin becomes dehydrated and gradually loses its lustre. It becomes dry and itchy, starts looking dull, and fine lines and an uneven complexion may also be noticeable in some cases.
Hives
Hives are relatively rare, especially those that occur due to sun exposure. But it’s a severe condition if not adequately dealt with. A short amount of exposure to the sun can cause large welts to break out, which sometimes do disappear in a few hours but at other times can have life-threatening complications in severe cases and should be taken very seriously.
