Sun Protection: Using Sunscreen & Wise Exposure to the UVB/UVA Rays
The Truth About Sun Exposure
The sun in small doses and at the best times of the day can have extremely good benefits. It can help clear up certain skin conditions, and has a psychological effect. It produces vitamin D in our bodies that helps with calcium and phosphorus absorption maintaining our immune system. Too much sun can cause other more severe complications in our lives, such as wrinkles as well as cancer.
What is UVA and UVB Light
Our sun gives us both UVA and UVB light. Radiation is a form of energy and the shorter the wavelength the more damaging to our skin it is. Skin cancer occurs because skin cells that are damaged by the UVA and UVB light can not regenerate. UVB is the more damaging of the two and you will find that all sunscreens protect against UVB first.
