SUN DAMAGE

Sun damage is caused by frequent exposure to UV rays. There are two types of UV rays that can damage the skin; UVA & UVB - both are emitted by the sun and both can damage the skin at different levels. UVA rays penetrate the skin into the deepest layers and are a major source of ageing. UVB rays damage the surface of the skin and are the key source of sunburns. Prolonged exposure to these rays over a period of time can deplete collagen levels in the skin, cause uneven pigmentation, age spots and contribute to premature ageing.
