Treating A Sun-Damaged Chest

While most anti-ageing creams and treatments focus on the hands and face, they often neglect the neck, which, when it comes to sun damage, is an area that is frequently over-exposed and can become damaged. The chest area can produce sun spots, premature wrinkles, crepiness and redness due to the thinness of the skin, flow of blood capillaries and deterioration of the skin’s structure.

Why does sun damage occur on the chest?

Any part of the body can become sunburnt but most people simply forget to apply sun protection to the chest area, and as a result, causing sun damage. Commonly the face, neck, ears and hands are the most visible to the eye and therefore protected but this often isn’t the case for the chest – thereby increasing your chances of over exposure conditions and in worse cases cancer.
