Sun Aging Calculator
How Much Is Sun Exposure Aging and Damaging Your Skin?
The Sun Aging Calculator was created to help raise awareness on the impact of sun exposure on the skin. It assesses the potential effects of sun exposure based on your daily habits, lifestyle, and sun safety practices.
Answer a few quick questions to receive a personalised Sun Aging Score and discover where you sit on the scale, from minimal sun-related aging to more advanced signs of cumulative UV damage.
About you
1.How old are you?
This helps us weight your lifetime sun exposure more accurately.
2.What best describes your skin tone?
Skin with less melanin shows UV damage more readily, but every skin tone benefits from sun protection.
Where you live
3.Where have you spent most of your life?
Choose the option that best matches the climate where you grew up and have lived longest. Sun intensity rises closer to the equator and at altitude.
4.Which country do you currently live in?
Average ambient UV rises closer to the equator and at altitude, so where you live shapes your everyday exposure.
Time in the sun
5.Which best describes your work or daily occupation?
Some jobs keep you indoors most of the day, while others mean regular sun exposure that adds up over a career.
6.On average, how much time do you spend outdoors during daylight?
7.What outdoor hobbies or activities do you regularly do?
Some activities expose you to far more UV — including reflected glare.
8.How often do you intentionally sunbathe?
9.Have you used sunbeds or tanning beds?
Sunbeds deliver concentrated UV and accelerate aging.
10.How many severe sunburns have you experienced?
Severe, blistering burns — especially when young — drive long-term damage.
11.How many sunny holidays do you take per year?

15.Do you use hats, sunglasses or shade in strong sun?
16.Do you take any medication, or use any skin care products, that increase sensitivity to sunlight?

Tobacco smoke speeds up skin aging alongside UV.
