Photodamage: Protection and Reversal with Topical Antioxidants

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

More than ever, our generation enjoys the luxury of travel and leisure time for outdoor sports, markedly increasing our exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure is increased at high altitudes and with reflection from surfaces covered with snow, sand, water, or concrete. Our skin suffers the greatest damage—both acutely, with erythema and sunburn, and chronically, resulting in photoaging with mottled pigmentation, wrinkling, dryness, and precancerous keratoses as well as the severe consequence of skin cancer.
