UVA and UVB rays
UVA rays
UVA rays are long length rays which penetrate deep into the skin
The results can be:
- Loss of tightness of the skin caused by damage to the elastin and collagen fibres, which makes skin supple and firm.
- Development of free radicals.
- Permanent harm to DNA - Result: Premature skin ageing and wrinkles.
UVB rays
UVB radiation is the main cause of sunburn. Sun Care products with SPF in protect the skin from UVB rays. A product with an SPF15 blocks about 92% of UVB radiation, one with SPF20 blocks about 95%. Sunscreens with higher SPF`s only provide minimal more UVB protection. UVB rays reach their peak in intensity from 11am - 3pm in summer. These are middle length rays which penetrate the top layer of the skin, this triggers the production of melanin.
The results can be:
- Sunburn
- Damage to the DNA at the heart of the skin cells, one of the foremost causes of skin cancer.
Sun Safety
Each skin type has its own natural protection time. Without the
appropriate sunscreen you should not, under any circumstances,
stay in the sun for longer than this time. People with extremely
sensitive skin also react in a more sensitive way to the sun. A
cream with sun protection factor (SPF) prolongs the time you
can stay in the sun without running the risk of getting sunburn
according to the following formula:
skin`s own protection time x sun protection factor
For fair skin this means for example:
approx. 10 min. x SPF 20 = 200 min. = 3 ¼ hours of sun exposure time
This formula applies to all sun protection factors. Once you you have reached your sun exposure limit it is advisable not to expose the skin to the sun even though more cream may have been applied.
