What Are the Effects of Too Much Sun Exposure?

Too much sunlight can be dangerous to our health even if sunlight is great for making vitamin D. Some serious consequences of too much sunlight include:

Sunburns: The most common harmful effect of too much sunlight. Symptoms of a sunburn include redness, swelling, pain or tenderness and blisters.
Eye damage: Long-term exposure to UV light can damage the retina. This can increase the risk of eye diseases like cataracts.
Aging skin: Spending too long in the sun can cause your skin to age faster. Some people develop more wrinkled or leathery skin.
Skin changes: Freckles, moles and other skin changes can be a side effect of excess sunlight exposure.
Heat stroke: Also known as a sunstroke, this is a condition in which the body’s core temperature may rise due to too much heat or sun exposure.
Skin cancer: Too much UV light is a major cause of skin cancers.
