Human Growth and Development / Unit 13   HGD 1811 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Skin and Sun

Captions available

The idea

Skin loses elasticity, thickness, water and fat with age, and sun exposure without protection adds spots, wrinkles and skin-cancer risk.

In practice

Two siblings of the same age, one with decades of unprotected sun and more wrinkles.

Where people slip

Sun damage is secondary aging, driven by behaviour and environment rather than by the calendar.
