Can skin change color when spending years in the sun (permanantely)?

Yes: Long term skin damage can age the skin, increase wrinkles, darken the skin, and dry out the skin. It is important to protect the skin from the sun to avoid cancer and the dry, dark, aging, look that people often liken to a leather look. It excellerates the aging process.
