When I refer to 'sun damage', I'm not talking about sunburn or the peeling skin that occurs after too much time at the beach. I'm referring to the hidden alterations in your skin cells caused by ultraviolet radiation from the sun, known as UVA and UVB rays. This occurs whenever you are exposed to the sun - even on cloudy days, even indoors and even when you're wearing sunscreen! This phenomenon is often called photoaging or 'dermatoheliosis'.

Thread veins are among the undesirable signs of aging that appear on the skin.

When we are young our skin is plump and our cheekbones are more defined and sculpted but as we age, we begin to lose volume in our face. This is due to a number of factors. Not only do the levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in our skin deplete with age, but gravity also takes its toll and our underlying support structures, such as fat pads under the eyes and in the mid face, start to head south. Our bone structure also changes as we age and we get bone resorption, which m

Redness on the face can be caused by the normal things such as sunburn, irritation from harsh treatment, hot flushes, etc. There are also some skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis (an allergic reaction in the face to something it’s been in contact with), and eczema. Thread veins can make the face look red (these are veins which have lost their elasticity and are permanently dilated and permanently visible as bright red thread-like lines on the face).

In most cases a weak or receding chin is genetic, so some people are just born with a lack of ‘projection’ in the chin area. Anatomically the shape of the chin is affected not only by the bone structure but by the fatty chin pad at its tip. This means that a receding chin can also develop with age, as a result of the degradation of fat and bone tissue.
