If until now you have neglected to put sunscreen on your face, but also on your neck area, we hope this photo will convince you:
The 92-year-old woman has been applying sunscreen to her face for decades, but not to her neck, and this is the result.
The photo shows the effects that prolonged exposure to the sun can have on the skin if not protected.
The 92-year-old woman in the photo used UV-protective moisturizer on her face constantly, but she neglected to apply it on her neck for decades.
Basically, if the skin ages naturally, it's a process known as chronological aging, but if you age by the sun, we can call it "photoaging."
The latter is accelerated by continuous and prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays, which damage skin cells. In extreme cases, this neglect can even lead to skin cancer.
Sunscreen is vital to help protect the skin from disease.
While we are unlikely to beat human aging, it is important to take care of our skin by applying spf daily. Thus, even when we get old, the skin will still look and be healthy!
