Sunburn
Perhaps one of the most obvious signs of overexposure to the sun is sunburn, which is caused by the damaging effects of UV rays. It’s important to note that for many people, skin can take hours to show signs of a serious sunburn, meaning it’s extra important to be diligent about sunblock before going outdoors and to reapply regularly. Fun fact: Even a tan is a sign of sun damage and overexposure.
Peeling skin
Even if you don’t develop a red, painful sunburn, skin can still be damaged by the sun. Evidence of this damage is peeling, which is the body’s way of removing damaged, dead skin cells. If you notice your skin is peeling after spending time outdoors, it’s a good indicator that you got too much sun.
