This man is 69 years old, but one half of his face looks far older, due to years of sun damage to his left side.
The unnamed man spent 28 years driving a truck, meaning he was far more exposed to the sun’s rays coming through the window on the left of his vehicle as he drove.
The shocking difference between the two sides of his face shows the dramatic premature ageing effect that sunshine can have on the skin.
Two-faced: The 69-year-old looks far older on the left-hand side of his face after years of sun exposure as a trucker
Scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago studied the damage to the trucker’s face.
The condition, known as unilateral dermatoheliosis, or photoageing, is caused by the sun’s UVA rays and results in thickening and wrinkling of the skin.
UVA rays, which are responsible for the tanning effect caused by the colouring of skin pigments, are the most common form of light rays, and are prevalent in tanning booths, which produce doses 12 times stronger than the sun’s.
Danger: The ageing effect was caused by UVA rays, which are used in tanning beds
Unlike the UVB rays most commonly associated with skin cancer and sunburn, UVA rays can penetrate glass such as the trucker’s window and are present even on cloudy days.
Although UVA light was previously believed to be relatively safe compared to UVB – resulting in ranges of sunscreens that blocked only UVB – recent research and the university study have shown that skin cancer can be caused by both types.
Scientists Jennifer R.S. Gordon and
Joaquin C. Brieva at Northwestern University said the trucker’s extreme damage
meant he would require regular monitoring for skin cancer.
The research highlights the danger of UVA tanning beds, which were once believed to be safe due to emitting fewer UVB rays, and comes as a warning to sunbathers after the hottest period of the year last weekend saw thousands flock to beaches across the country.
Warning: Sunbathers in Brighton last weekend. Scientists have highlighted the danger of prolonged sun exposure

Is it possible that American drivers have stronger left legs, and British drivers have stronger left legs, because of the effort required to enter and exit a car?

He should now choose to drive a British right-hand drive truck and treat his right-hand side with UV. At least, it would balance-up the effect. (Keep shaded during the return trip).

i hate the sun!!! glad i do looking at that pic!!

Alot of that is cigarette smoking damage too. Everytime I see a face like that on an older person I am never suprised to see the cigarette in their hand. Ive never seen a face with that kind of damage that didnt belong to a heavy smoker.

If only he’d heard of Oil of Ulay.

But the people in the hotter parts of the world also have a greater amount of melaninS, which is natures own sunscreen. Skin colour is a trade off between UV light reaching cells to create vitamin D and preventing too much UV light from causing skin cancer.

And for those saying we don’t need the sun for vit D as we can get it from fish and fish oils, some of us are vegetarian and even vegan…but to be honest notwithstanding that, to eliminate the nurturing rays of the sun (there is nothing like the sense of well-being after a day on the beach, with salt water drying naturally on your skin from the rays of the sun) were that possible, would be a negative thing. In moderation it promotes well-being like few other things do so immediately.

Why are we so obsessed with having a tan anyway?
We barely ever see the sun to begin with. Let´s hear a cheer for white, pastey English skin!
