One Side of my Face Looks Older Than the Other. What is the Best Way to Address This Issue?

jessica lauren
My derm said this is likely a result from driving (one side of my face gets more sun than the other). I am quite bothered by this; I am only 25 and I am hoping to correct this before it gets worse. The side that looks worse has a rough texture, fine lines, and slightly enlarged pores. What would be the appropriate treatment for this? Would you suggest laser on the "bad" side followed by a chemical peel? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
