UVA is the suns harmful rays , but this type is around all year round. Any bit of daylight your skin sees contains UVA !
UVB is the extra rays that are around in summer and on holiday.
Both type of UV rays are harmful on your skin and can have lasting effects.
Let me explain a few
Premature ageing - the UV Rays destroy cells and stop the production of collagen that holds the skin structure together this causes skin to sag and wrinkles and lines to show.
The UV Rays destroy the cells DNA and once this happened the cells can't be controlled and become erratic and make millions of broken cells that form little clusters which we know to be freckles.
It can also cause pigmentation and age spots.
An SPF is there to protect your skin cells and defend against these UV Rays. You need to wear one every day for it to be effective.
The good news is most moisturisers and foundations have them in these days so check yours.
Also these days there is a lot of treatments out there that can help reverse the signs of ageing such as laser works on pigmentation which can be broken down and disappear and also ageing as the heat promotes collagen to the area to plump the skin up.
The best thing to do tho is wear your SPF !
Don't let the sun damage your precious skin. Have that youthful glow forever !
