Dr. Charles Mok explains how UV exposure happens year-round, not just in summer, from both sunlight and indoor fluorescent lights. UV penetrates skin and slows collagen and elastin production, causing wrinkles, redness, brown spots, and volume loss. Consistent skin care matters every season.

All year round. You're getting exposed to ultraviolet light. The sun has the most ultraviolet light. I'm in an office right now. It was built in 2009. And these fluorescent lights, they're leaking ultraviolet light. And ultraviolet light penetrates your skin. It slows down the growth of collagen and elastin. It slows down the replacement of your creative sites and the fat cells in your face. We deflate a little bit. We give more wrinkles, more redness, more brown spots. Good skin care in the summer is really good skin care year round, but it's probably more important in the summer.
