“…This scenario is likely common to Japanese, French and Chinese women, with however some slight ethnic specificities and amplitudes of the cutaneous impacts . More importantly, as new finding, the present work indicates that these may be precocious among Japanese women: the 30 NSP younger women (18–20 years), as compared to the 55 SP younger women of the same age‐class, already undergo to a more pronounced photo‐ageing process .…”

Objective To assess the impacts of sun exposures on some skin signs on the faces and hands of differently aged Japanese women, according to their distinct behaviours towards vis à vis sun exposure. Methods Two comparable cohorts of Japanese women (aged 18–83 years) were created according to their usual behaviour towards sun exposure i.e. non‐sun‐phobic (N = 495) and sun‐phobic (N = 516) and through their regular use(s) of a photo‐protective product. Standard photographs (full‐face and 45° lateral) allowed to focus on 18 facial signs that were graded by 15 experts, using a referential skin ageing Atlas. From these two cohorts, two sub‐cohorts (114 and 122 women) were created with regard to the similar clinical aspects of the dorsal side of their hands (Left vs. Right) that were further graded. Absolute differences in the scores of each sign were used (non‐sun‐phobic minus sun‐phobic), by age‐ranges, to better ascertain the impact of sun exposures and photo‐protection. Results Facial signs related to skin wrinkles/texture and pigmentary spots were found significantly more accentuated among non‐sun‐phobic women and show an early onset (20–30 years). Facial sagging and crow’s feet wrinkles appear delayed (30–40 years). The severity of vascular disorders was found to be similar in the two cohorts. The absolute differences in the grading’s of almost all signs were unsurprisingly found increased with advancing ages, illustrating the combination of chronological and photo‐ageing processes. With regard to hands, differences in skin texture and pigmentary disorders are of a late onset (40–50 years) and were found much increased at older ages. The cutaneous signs of the hands of Japanese women can hardly be taken as reliable markers of their photo‐ageing status. Conclusion The present work illustrates, for the first time, some specificities of the impact of sun exposures on the facial skin of Japanese women, pinpointing the fact that some facial signs are of an early onset. Results significantly confirm the importance of both sun avoidance coupled with photo‐protective measures.

“…Our previous study showed that there are no seasonal changes in PS scores. 10 In the present study, we combined two sets of crosssectional surveys recruiting subjects in the summer and in the winter, after confirming that both groups of subjects had similar PS scores and that TPs similarly suppressed their PS scores. This finding confirmed that the PS score is not influenced by the season and that the findings are reproducible; thus, the suppression of hyperpigmentation by the consumption of TPs was confirmed.…”

“…8,9 We have accumulated a basic knowledge about facial hyperpigmented spots and factors that influence them. 10 Japanese women are well aware of the harmful effects of UV exposure and most of them use sun protection every day. Their previous sun exposure times were usually very short showing that the UV exposure time was not an influential factor in the PS score.…”

Purpose: Hyperpigmentation of the skin can occur at any age depending on etiological factors but its intensity increases during adolescence in Japanese females and gradually develops further in adults. The purpose of this study was to characterize factors that influence skin hyperpigmentation, including age, skin type and dietary polyphenol sources. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional survey of healthy Japanese women aged from 30 to 60 years (n=244) was conducted using food and environmental questionnaires and a VISIA™ facial photoimage analyzer. Results: UV Pigmented Spot (PS) scores correlated negatively with the consumption of total polyphenols (TPs) (R=−0.224, p<0.001) and the rate of hyperpigmented spot development (PS score/age after 18 years of age) was suppressed by the consumption of TPs. This trend was independent of the melanin index and the skin type, which indicates the ability of the skin to tan after sun exposure. Consumption of coffee, the largest source of TPs, suppressed the PS score (p<0.001). Consumption of green tea, the second largest source of TPs, also suppressed the PS score, which was weaker than coffee but was statistically significant (p=0.029). The PS score was suppressed the most in subjects with both a high consumption of coffee and green tea. Conclusion: Higher consumption of TPs may be beneficial to alleviate photoaging of the skin, and coffee as well as green tea contribute to suppress skin hyperpigmentation through adding large amounts of TPs in the diet.

“…Spots and brown spots measured by VISIA ® showed positive correlation with age; UV spots and brown spots measured by IPP ® showed a positive correlation with age; the L value showed negative correlation with age. Takahashi et al reported that UV pigmented and hyperpigmented spots were positively correlated with age in a study that recruited 169 subjects aged 6‐62 years . Hillebrand et al showed that pigmented spots increased with age, and subjects living in southern areas show more hyperpigmentation .…”

Facial skin photo‐aging and development of hyperpigmented spots from children to middle‐aged Japanese woman

Abstract: Hyperpigmented spots developed in women over 20 years of age due to chronic sun exposure without sun protection during childhood and adolescent and it was stable afterwards, whose intensity was influenced by age and skin type.
