Scientific Study: Prolonged Sun Exposure Accelerates Skin Aging by Disrupting Biological Clock

Researchers at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom concluded that chronic exposure to sunlight, particularly ultraviolet rays, disrupts the biological balance of the skin and accelerates the aging process beyond previous estimates. The study showed that ultraviolet rays weaken the daily rhythms of genes responsible for cell repair and DNA protection, hindering the skin's ability to renew itself during nighttime. The researchers recommended limiting sun exposure during peak hours, avoiding frequent thermal fluctuations, and following a diet rich in vitamins and collagen to maintain skin health.
