How long does it take sun damage on the skin to surface?

Question

I was told that most of us have sun damage (example: freckles) that we can't see with the naked eye. If you go into a dark room and put a black light next to your face, you can see some freckles on your skin that you don't see in regular light. Will that skin damage/freckles eventually appear on the skin to the naked eye? How long does that take? I am a sunblock goddess now to prevent some aging, but when I was a kid, that wasn't the case. I am just wondering how long it will be before I skin that skin damage.

Answer 1

if your skin keeps peeling off it be soon but why not get in the sun at least 2 hours a day every second day to get a nice suntan.
