TL;DR
The adverse effects of sun exposure and strategies to reduce photodamage are reviewed.
Abstract
Exposure to sunlight can produce both acute and long-term effects. Acute changes include erythema, photosensitivity, and immunologic alterations. Long-term consequences include carcinogenesis and photoaging. All effects can be minimized by photoprotection. This article reviews the adverse effects of sun exposure and strategies to reduce photodamage.

Experimental Cell ResearchThe serial cultivation of human diploid cell strains
8,408 Citations1961Leonard Hayflick, Paul S. Moorhead
A consideration of the cause of the eventual degeneration of these strains leads to the hypothesis that non-cumulative external factors are excluded and that the phenomenon is attributable to intrinsic factors which are expressed as senescence at the cellular level.
Experimental Cell ResearchThe limited in vitro lifetime of human diploid cell strains
5,785 Citations1965Leonard Hayflick
The survival curves obtained with human diploid cell strains are comparable to “multiple-hit” or “ multiple-target” curves obtain with other biological systems where an initial threshold dose is required before an exponential form of the curve is established.

The concept of sun-reactive "skin typing" was created in 1975 to be able to classify persons with white skin in order to select the correct initial doses of ultraviolet A (UVA) in the application of the then newly developed technique for the treatment of psoriasis—oral methoxsalen photochemotherapy (PUVA).
