A Word About UVA and UVB
UVA radiation represents most of the UV radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface. These are the rays that cause your skin to tan – and also cause the premature aging of your skin. This is called photoaging, and it starts with the formation of wrinkles. When you think of UV rays that cause cancer, you’re thinking of UVA. UVA radiation can even pass through glass!
UVB radiation causes skin damage, often in the form of sunburns and blisters. It can also cause skin cancer. Unlike UVA radiation, it doesn’t pass through glass.
Wearing a sunscreen that will block both UVA and UVB is vital to protecting your skin from damage and premature signs of aging. It’s best to choose one that is gentle on your skin and noncomedogenic, like the Essential Defense line of sunscreens.
