What Is Photoaging and Why Does It Happen? Photoaging is premature skin ageing caused by repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation rather than chronological ageing alone. In a study of 298 Caucasian women, UV exposure was estimated to account for up to 80% of visible facial ageing. The exact contribution varies by individual and population. On oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin, photoaging may appear as uneven skin tone, lingering acne marks, enlarged-looking pores, redness and rough texture before prominent wrinkles develop. Photoaging occurs through three main processes: UVA rays: Penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to collagen damage, loss of elasticity, and premature wrinkles. UVB rays: Cause sunburn and, along with UVA, contribute to tanning and pigmentation. Oxidative stress: UV exposure generates free radicals that can damage skin cells and contribute to visible ageing. Over time, these processes can affect collagen, elastin, skin texture and pigmentation. Sensitive skin may also experience UV-related irritation, while acne-prone skin may develop more noticeable dark marks after inflammation. Photoageing is not just about wrinkles. It can also involve pigmentation, rough texture, and persistent redness, making sun protection important in high-UV climates such as India. 5 Common Signs of Photoaging on Oily and Sensitive Skin The signs of photoaging vary by skin type, skin tone and cumulative sun exposure.

Thick, oily sunscreens can feel heavy and shiny on oily skin, particularly in humid weather. When sunscreen feels uncomfortable, you may be tempted to apply too little or skip reapplication.
