Solar Protection






Did you know?
-That UVA radiation(unlike UVB) is consistently the same all day, all month, all year long.
-UVA rays present the same damaging effects to the skin in December as in July.
-UVA radiation enters the skin to a deeper depth than UVB rays and is more damaging to the skin.
-That This is specifically why daily year round sun protection is essential.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB?
-UVB is the wavelength that causes the red painful irritation first experienced during early sun   exposure.
_UVA is the deeper penetrating wavelength that is most often associated with wrinkling, pigmentation, and long term damage.

Both UVA and UVB radiation are both recognized as causing cancer.
