If you use sunscreen every day for a few months to a year, your skin might look smoother, have fewer dark spots, and show fewer wrinkles over time.

If you put on sunscreen every single day for nearly five years, your skin will show about a quarter fewer wrinkles and sun spots than if you only use it sometimes.
