CAN TANNING CUASE WRINKLES?

Yes. Excessive exposure, particularly the high-intensity UVA, can destroy the resilient fibers of the lower skin layer, thereby causing the top skin layer to sag. Thus, wrinkling appears. UVA, if not blocked by pigmentation and skin thickening in the outer skin layer, can penetrate to the dermas and destroy skin elasticity. Thus, if one makes the decision to tan, it is recommended that one use a light source which contains both UVA and UVB. Even if a person uses a sunscreen, if it does not block both UVA and UVB, damage to the lower skin layer can still occur upon overexposure.
