If you're already there and are regretting spending your teens and 20s tanning without that proper sunscreen that your mother tried to impose on you, take a deep breath.
There are ways to reverse sun damage and prematurely aging skin.
Premature aging is preliminary caused by the over exposure of the sun over a prolonged time/years.
