This is an incredible example of the damage the sun can have on your skin. This 69 year old truck driver received considerably more sunlight on the left side of his face through out his 28 years of driving a delivery truck.
So clearly shown in this single face is the witness that the suns damaging rays can prematurely age your skin.
“His condition is called unilateral dermatoheliosis, from the Greek dermis and helios, skin and sun. It’s also called photoaging, and it results from chronic exposure to the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. In his case, it only affected the left side of his face because of his work. As he drove, he received much many hours of sunlight through the left window of his vehicle.
“Since UVB and UVA can cause DNA mutations leading to skin cancer, the doctors recommended their patient to use sun protection and topical retinoids, as well as periodic monitoring for the apparition of skin cancer.”
