Outdoor Sun Protection
It's no secret that a sunburn can be seriously painful, but exposing your skin to the sun outdoors without any protection can have even scarier consequences than the uncomfortable sting of lobster red skin. In addition to the UVB rays that bake the outer layer of skin and cause it to become inflamed or burned, natural sunlight also contains UVA rays, which penetrate the outer covering of your epidermis and reach the middle layers of skin. This is the area where your new, healthy skin is waiting to be revealed, so damage to these layers can cause lasting skin care problems.
UVA rays contain free radicals that destroy vital parts of the skin cells, leaving them unable to produce the protein necessary to make your skin strong and resistant to wrinkling. Exposure to UV rays can also cause the melanin-producing cells to malfunction and create dark, permanent splotches on your skin. Furthermore, the intense energy of UVA can prompt cellular mutations that develop into cancerous tumors like deadly melanoma.
Fortunately, you can protect yourself from sunburn, premature aging, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer by limiting the amount of UV that reaches your skin.
