photoaged
Solar radiation weathered
Photoaged describes skin that has been damaged and prematurely aged by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, particularly from the sun.
The condition manifests as wrinkles, discoloration, leathery texture, and loss of elasticity—changes distinct from natural chronological aging.
Dermatologists use the term to distinguish sun-induced damage from other causes of skin aging.
Years of tanning left her face noticeably photoaged.
