INTRODUCTION
The deleterious impact of sun exposure on the human skin is widely documented. Excessive exposure may cause premature skin ageing (wrinkling, ptosis, red-neck, dyschromia etc.), sun-burn, photoallergic/photo-toxic reactions, as well as Basal Cell Carcinoma or Melanoma.1-8 Moreover, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol consumption etc.) and aerial pollution boost the facial skin aging process.9-11
Facial skin investigations in Chinese men remain scarce. To better design cosmetic solutions adapted to consumers in their diversity, investigating the impact of environmental factors among genders is essential.
This study evaluated the impact of sun exposure on facial skin ageing signs in differently aged Chinese men with a distinct behavior regarding sun exposure.
