People who experience aging from UV exposure have extremely low reparative ability due to low redox, artificial blue light toxicity, and lack of DHA, grounding, and consistent sunrise/sunset exposure (shifts ROS production from triplet state to singlet state, more harmful).

Their melatonin status is likely crashed.
Red/infrared light, which is present with minimal to no UV primarily during sunrise/sunset, is required for melatonin on intracellular level as well as offsetting any potential harm from UV during midday.
This is what homeostasis refers to above.
I still moisturize my skin with oils and/or tallow/lanolin at night before bed, but it had little impact comparatively before I began focusing on melatonin and redox status.
Not sure if I’m the exception, but I can see low redox/high oxidative stress in the skin after observing changes in myself throughout my health recovery.
Higher redox inherently appears like your skin is youthful and glowing, no topicals will influence your homeostasis on intracellular level.
I believe this is why people observe less susceptibility to sunburn when they eliminate industrialized vegetable/seed oils in their diet, but it’s only half of the story. The other half is the DHA and light/darkness.
