It’s important to protect your skin from sun damage throughout the year, no matter the weather.
Why?
Exposing your skin to the sun means you are exposing it to ultraviolet radiation, which can cause sunburn, skin aging (such as skin spots,
wrinkles, or “leathery skin”), eye damage, and skin cancer.
The sun sustains life and feels good, but it can be your skin’s worst enemy. While every sunburn can increase your risk of skin cancer, it’s not
just those big days at the beach or ballgame that cause trouble. Each time you run out to get the mail, walk the dog or commute to work
without sun protection also adds to the damage that can lead to skin cancer (as well as leathery skin, dark spots and wrinkles).
UVA vs. UVB Rays
From the sun, come both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are known for penetrating the deeper layers of our skin, which can lead to premature
skin aging and wrinkles. UVB rays on the other hand, are known as the culprits of sunburns and play a significant role in causing skin cancer.
Curious how intense the UV rays are at any point in the day? Just look up the UV index on your phone!
