Just how bad it will be depends on how light-skinned you are and how long you have been out in the sun, as photo aging tends to much worse in a person with a fair complexion than someone with a darker skin color even if both subjects have been out in the sun for the same amount of time. Besides taking away your girlishly youthful complexion, the sun’s rays cause skin cancer, prevent collagen product in and is directly linked to the condition actinic keratoses, which a reddish-wart like patches on the skin.
