The sun's impact on the skin
Now that the sun is starting to peek out, it's easy to forget to protect yourself. Over the years, Sun-Damaged Skin often becomes loose, rough, and leathery. You can also suffer from Pigmentation spots on your face and body, making Wrinkles and Fine Lines more visible. Sun damage cannot be completely reversed, but with Skinroller it can be repaired. Our non-surgical treatment method is based on stimulating the body's production of new Collagen. As an extra booster during the treatment, you can utilize the properties of a Retinol Serum.
6 ways the sun affects your skin
- The sun accounts for 80% of skin aging: It is primarily the sun we should blame for Wrinkles and Pigmentation spots. A study of 300 women showed that 80% of skin aging in the form of crow's feet and Fine Lines is caused by UV radiation.
- Increased risk of skin cancer: Sun damage accumulates in the skin with every passing year. The older you get, the greater the risk of skin cancer, which is one of the most important reasons to use SPF daily.
- Natural source of Vitamin D: When we expose ourselves to the sun, the body produces Vitamin D, which is essential for the immune system and skeleton. It also increases serotonin levels, making us happier.
- The sun can worsen Acne: The sun can have a positive effect on Psoriasis and eczema, but for people with Acne, radiation can worsen the condition by causing inflammation and irritation.
- Dark spots on the lips: Many forget to protect their lips, which can lead to dark spots and painful, burnt skin.
- Sunburn is acute sun damage: A sunburn is a sign that the skin has been damaged by UV radiation and is trying to defend itself by producing melanin. It increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates skin aging.
It is important to protect your skin all year round. Use Sunscreen every day and avoid being outside when the sun is at its strongest. With the right care, you can maintain a youthful complexion.
Repair the skin after sun exposure

Common questions about Sunscreen
Is SPF 30 enough in Sweden or do I need SPF 50?
SPF 30 filters out about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 filters out about 98%. On bright spring and summer days or for Sensitive Skin, SPF 50 is the safest bet; otherwise, a generous amount of SPF 30 is perfectly fine.
Do I have to use Sunscreen even when it is cloudy?
Yes. Up to 80% of UVA rays penetrate through clouds and contribute to skin aging all year round. Apply at least SPF 30 daily to protect your Collagen and reduce Pigmentation spots.
How much Sunscreen should I use for my face?
About two finger lengths (approx. 1 g) or one teaspoon is enough for the face, neck, and ears. A smaller amount effectively halves the protective factor.
Can I combine Sunscreen with makeup without degrading the protection?
Yes. Let the Sunscreen sink in for 5 minutes and then apply foundation with a sponge or brush – avoid rubbing off the SPF layer. Finish with a powder or spray SPF for touch-ups during the day.
