How to treat photoaging
Skin aging accelerated by cumulative sun exposure over the years.
About photoaging
Photoaging is the set of signs — spots, fine wrinkles, loss of firmness, irregular texture — caused specifically by accumulated sun exposure over a lifetime, distinct from the skin's natural chronological aging (although the two usually add up).
Recommended treatments
The SKIMS Method protocol for photoaging

Frequently asked questions
Is photoaging reversible?
Many of the signs (spots, texture, some fine wrinkles) improve significantly with the right protocol, but prevention with daily sunscreen is what prevents continued progression.
Only people who sunbathe excessively get photoaging?
No — even routine, unprotected exposure (commuting, car windows, daily life) accumulates damage over the years.
