Can sun damage be reversed? Once UV radiation changes your skin cells' DNA, the DNA damage can't be reversed. However, this doesn't mean that you can't change the appearance of your skin. You can treat, reduce and/or repair the effects of sun-damaged skin.

Most of the damage can be eliminated after a few days, but potentially serious long-term effects mean it is better to avoid getting burnt altogether. Spending a day in the sun can cause 100,000 DNA defects in each exposed skin cell.

Any ingredients that end in “-caine” such as benzocaine as these can cause further irritation and, in some cases, an allergic reaction. Oils and petroleum. After sun products that are oil or petroleum-based may make your sunburn worse as these can trap heat in the skin.

If your skin has experienced sun damage, after sun can be applied as often as necessary. It's extremely important to ensure that damaged or burnt skin is kept moisturised and hydrated to avoid peeling. However, once your skin has healed, it's best to reduce your usage by applying just once a day.
