Resaving any jpg means damaging the image. 

jpg employs lossy compression and the effect cumulates with each re-save … 

 

Edit: If I remember correctly jpg would theoretically allow for non-lossy compression methods, but practically when we speak about jpg in Photoshop we are speaking about jfif with lossy compression.
