How To Protect Your Skin From UVA and UVB Rays
Product Review EltaMD Broad Spectrum Sun Care
EltaMD broad-spectrum sunscreens will equip you with safe, broad-spectrum UV protection. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps you avoid sunburn. It will decrease your risk of skin cancer and premature aging caused by dangerous UV rays.
What are UVA/ UVB Rays?
UVA rays are Ultraviolet Aging rays. They penetrate deeply into the layers of your skin, causing wrinkles, dark spots and loss of elasticity. They are attributed for 95% of sun exposure, cause premature aging, and also contribute to skin cancer.
UVB rays are Ultraviolet Burning rays which target your outer layer of skin. Signs of UVB damage include sunburns and suntans. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, your risk for skin cancer doubles if you have had five or more sunburns.
When you wear EltaMD sunscreen, the UVA and UVB rays are reflected away from your skin, protecting you from a sunburn. EltaMD sunscreens prevent sunburn and diminish your risk of skin cancer and premature aging caused by UVA and UVB rays.
EltaMD sunscreens are composed of zinc oxide, a natural, stable ingredient which protects even the most sensitive skin from the sun. Zinc oxide will not degrade as quickly as ingredients found in other sunscreens. Zinc oxide prevents the broadest spectrum of UVA and UVB rays, protecting your skin from burning, premature aging, and skin cancer.
