So what causes sun damage?

Sun damage is caused by frequent exposure to damaging (UV) rays, UV is an undetected form of radiation emitted by the sun. There are two types of UV rays, UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are the major source of early ageing and skin cancer. UVB rays primarily access the surface of the skin and are key source of sunburn.

What can I do to help?

Choose the proper sunscreen

The SPF ( Sun Protection Factor ) measures the right amount of UVB absorption, but there is no method of reporting the UVA absorption. The only way to determine if a sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB radiation is to look at the ingredients. A good broad spectrum sunscreen should have an SPF of at least 15 and above.
