Photoaging describes those changes in clinical, histologic, and functional characteristics of older skin that can be observed in habitually sun-exposed areas. It consists of chronic sun damage (predominantly) superimposed on so-called intrinsic or programmed aging. Photoaging accounts for most of the unwanted changes in skin appearance over time and also exaggerates or accelerates the loss of physiologic reserve and various protective capacities. The importance of photoaging lies in the enormous consumer demand for agents that can prevent or reverse its stigmata, its strong association with cutaneous malignancies, and the clues it provides regarding the nature of aging itself.
