Ok, I read the post about wrinkles, but what about the direct sun damage? I was a tennis player and water skier when I was young, and now I'm paying the price. Any suggestions on what best to use for skin elastosis due to sun damage? 🙁
 
Hmm...I don't think there's any proven treatment but I would guess creams with anti-oxidants and moisturizers?

I shadowed a doc once who saw this and she said that while pharmaceutical companies are always pushing products that will reduce aging skin and heal sun damage, there isn't anything that is 100% effective.
