Whilst sunlight is essential for life,
over-exposure is the greatest challenge facing our skin.
Sun or
photo-damage is caused by ultraviolet radiation (UV) in the forms of UVA
and UVB.
UVA makes up 95%
of UV; it penetrates deep into the dermis and damages skin, even on
cloudy days and in winter. UVA accelerates ageing of the skin by
triggering free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage
collagen, elastin and the underlying skin architecture. Furthermore it
can cause pigmentation problems, skin reactions and most seriously it
reduces the skins natural defence mechanisms and can cause skin cancer.
UVB only
penetrates the upper epidermal layer of the skin and is more prevalent
on sunny days and during the summer. It tans the skin but can rapidly
cause reddening, burning and epidermal damage and most seriously UVB
also reduces the skins natural defence mechanisms and can cause skin
cancer.
