This is how you should treat sun damage in your 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s (your age matters)

“Because each decade has its own rules, discover what care your skin needs at each age and what treatments are best suited to protect it from sun damage.”

“It’s around age 40 that we begin to notice the loss of elastin and the accumulated sun damage in our skin over time,” according to Javier Pérez Diez, an aesthetic physician at Clínica Premium Marbella. The protocol for this decade includes products with SPF 50 that protect against UVA and UVB rays, and ideally also the infrared spectrum, and “the use of glycolic acid in low concentrations and retinol or retinoic acid as a stimulant,” adds the doctor, as part of daily skincare. You also shouldn’t forget “creams containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin combined with tocopherol after sun exposure.”.

And if you're looking for a cosmetic treatment to mitigate the harmful effects of the sun at this age and improve fine wrinkles, the expert recommends deep peels, "ablative lasers, radiofrequency with microneedles and mesotherapy to help regenerate the skin," recommends the expert from Clínica Premium in Marbella, who also recommends focused shock waves, biostimulant injections and PDO threads.
