Sun protection is not just about preventing sunburn; it's about safeguarding your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
UV radiation from the sun consists of UVA and UVB rays, both of which can penetrate the skin and cause damage.
UVA rays contribute to premature aging, such as wrinkles and sunspots, while UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn and skin cancer.
Prolonged exposure to UV radiation without adequate protection can lead to skin damage, including sunburn, photoaging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
