UVA vs. UVB: Sun Protection Factor
The sun produces two types of ultraviolent radiation that affect the skin:
UVA Rays (the aging rays): damage the deeper tissue and are responsible for premature aging and pigment issues as well as melanoma
UVB rays (the burning rays): damage the outer skin causing sunburns and skin cancers
Physical sunscreens, less irritating, work by reflecting or blocking the sun’s rays
Chemical sunscreens absorb the ultraviolent rays and breakdown the “bad guys” helping to protect skin against damage
Antioxidants perform the secondary line of defense by neutralizing the free radicals
