UVA rays from the sun can penetrate deep into your skin and damage collagen, which is the protein that holds your skin together in a firm and smooth way.- UVA breaks down the collagen structure which results in wrinkles.
- Once collagen is damaged, it cannot re-build itself.
- Up to 80% of skin aging is caused by the sun.
