REVERSE SUN DAMAGE

IS THERE A WAY TO REVERSE SUN DAMAGE ON MY NECK? I live in Palm Springs, California.  For the past 4 years I've  had a 130 mile commute, twice a week.to Los Angeles. Many times I am driving for 2, 3 or 4 hours with the sun hitting my neck. The first couple years I never even gave it a thought. Who thinks about sunburn in the car? Then I noticed the redness of my skin in a swathe under the chin. The skin is tougher and permanently red. Not painful or swollen. What can I do. One dermatologist said to me, when I asked why it was so red, and he replied ... oh, that skin has basically 'give up'.

Sunblock itself can help, but you have to be totally religious about using it literally ever day from now until forever.  The skin might slowly heal, but it will probably never look brand new again.

You're welcome. The product I mentioned in my first post to you is really
terrific. I think it's the vitamin C component in the day cream. Eve

Hello there,

Just a thought. I have a small patch of skin on my face that my dermatologist
attributes to sun damage. Anyway, I've bought a product manufactured by
a woman called Elizabeth Grant who sells on the shopping channel.
It is a day cream which has vitamin C in it and something called Torricilum.
I've noticed that since I began using this day cream with vitamin C, the
small patch on my face has improved significantly. Perhaps this product
could be helpful for you. You can go on the shopping channel website
and order over the internet. Good luck.
