Following on from the last episode about the positive effects of the sun, in this episode of Beyond Lifespan, Dr. Dominik Duscher explains the negative effects of sunlight on the skin. Here are some of the topics we cover: Collagen and cell structure: Dominik talks about how UV rays accelerate skin aging by affecting collagen production and producing harmful enzymes. Different types of skin cancer: You'll learn about the risks associated with UV radiation, including the most common types like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Chronic vs. intermittent exposure: We explain how different types of exposure affect cancer risk differently and the role that skin type plays in this. Prevention and protective measures: The episode ends with practical tips on how to protect your skin and minimize age-related damage. We welcome your thoughts and questions at any time - just write to [email protected] and we'll try to answer them in a future Q&A episode.
