Our body’s immune system comes into play when it comes down to sun damaged skin. Just like our body needs nutrients, sleep, and stress relief to maintain a strong immune system, the skin requires the same tools to keep up with repair and protect itself from other damaging elements.
The more sun damaged it is, however, the less able the immune system is able to keep up. In fact, the skin’s ability to self-repair can decline by more than 50 percent by middle age.
