Decoding Sun Trouble

In Pakistan, where summer days feel like a blazing oven at 40°C or more, your skin really suffers. 

When the sun’s out in full force, your skin is on the front lines, taking the heat. 

Too much UV exposure isn’t just a tan gone wrong—it’s a recipe for early wrinkles, stubborn dark spots, and, in worst cases, something more serious like skin cancer. So, before you skip that SPF, remember that sun damage is no joke!

In Pakistani summers, where the sun doesn’t play nice, it’s key to know how these rays really mess with your skin. 

So, understanding the damage is the first step to boosting your glow.

How to Spot Sun-Damaged Skin?

Wondering if the sun has left its mark on your skin? Check for these telltale signs:

• Dark Spots: If you’ve got uneven patches or dark spots, the sun might be to blame.
• Wrinkles & Fine Lines: Those early wrinkles and lines could be from too much sun drying out your skin.
• Dry and Rough: If your skin feels parched and rough, it’s a sign the sun has stripped away its moisture.
• Dullness: Has your skin lost its glow? The sun could be the culprit.
• Sunburn: If your skin is red, sore, and irritated after sun exposure, it’s definitely showing signs of damage.

Keep an eye out for these signs, and you will know if it’s time for your appointment with our skin specialist at the Lahore clinic!

Now, one of the most frequently asked questions by so many men and women from me is…Dr Haiqa, can you rescue my sun beaten skin please?

Can You Fix Sun Damaged Skin?

Yes, you can! While stopping sun damage before it starts is best, there are ways to heal and refresh your skin if it has already been hit. 

With modern skin treatments and skin products, you can surely bring back your skin’s health and glow. 

Dear readers, sun damage isn’t the end—it’s just a bump in the road to great skin.

Prevent and Protect First!

Stop Sun Damage Before It Starts: Sunblock vs. Sunscreen

We have all heard it—prevention is better than cure, right?

This is especially true with sun damage. Your skin’s best buddies during summer? Sunblock and sunscreen. But what’s the difference?

• Sunblock: Think of it as a shield that physically blocks UV rays from hitting your skin.
• Sunscreen: This one absorbs those rays, stopping them from causing damage.

Sunscreen is a Must, No Excuses!

In Pakistan, the sun does not play around, so using sunscreen or sunblock every day is a must. 

Dr Hamdah and I at Glow & GO Laser Clinic always push you to pick a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and don’t forget to reapply every two hours when you are out and about. 

Your skin needs that extra layer of protection to stay safe and glowing!

Why Basic Skincare Is Not Enough Anymore

Let’s be real: using just sunblock and a super hydrating moisturiser is not enough to protect your skin from the strong sun we face every day. 

Your skin needs more than basic care—it needs special treatments to fix the deep damage from the sun, in fact, I myself have to get them twice in a month to help my skin survive Pakistani heat!

Whether it is melasma, uneven skin tone , or sun tan, or even fine lines due to collagen breakdown, seeing the best dermatologist in Lahore is the smartest choice. 

Here are some top treatments available in Pakistan that can help your skin bounce back.

3. Buff Away the Sunny Blues (Microdermabrasion):

Skin specialists like Dr Ahmed swear by it because microdermabrasion is like an Instagram filter for your face, but in real life it is a gentle polish that clears away dead skin, leaving you with a soft, smooth finish.

Why It Works:  A specialized tool lightly buffs away the dullness, helping your fresh skin shine through.

4. BB Glow: Wake Up with a Glow!

Too busy to take care of that skin under the merciless sun?
