    Daily sunscreen may do more than prevent future damage: it can give skin the breathing room it needs to repair visible signs of past UV exposure.

    Key takeaways

    • Daily sunscreen may help skin repair some visible sun damage over time.
    • It can reduce the UV triggers behind discoloration, lines and wrinkles.
    • Sunscreen cannot undo deep wrinkles or established collagen breakdown.
    • Apply it every morning and reapply during the day.
    • Cloudy days, windows and car journeys still matter.
