Sun FAQs

What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
------------------------------------------------
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation UVA is long wavelength
(320-400 nm) UV and accounts for up to 95 percent of the solar UV
radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. It can penetrate into the
deeper layers of the skin and has for years been thought to play
a major part in skin aging and wrinkling. Importantly, recent
studies strongly suggest that it may also initiate and exacerbate
the development of skin cancers. UVA rays are present during all
daylight hours and throughout the winter months. Although UVA
rays are less intense than short wavelengths, (UVB) they are
present all year round and depending upon the time of the year,
can be 30 to 50 times more prevalent than UVB rays. Furthermore,
UVA radiation can penetrate glass and clouds. Thus we are exposed
to large doses of UVA throughout our lifetime.
UVB is the middle range of UV with wavelengths between 290-320
nm. It is very biologically active and is responsible for
burning, tanning, acceleration of skin aging and plays a very key
role in the development of skin cancer. The intensity of UVB
varies by season, location and time of day. The most significant
a of UVB hits the U.S. between 10am and 4pm between April
and October. UVB rays penetrate glass.
What is SPF?
------------
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. This is a multiplier that
tells you how much longer you can remain in the sun without a
burn when wearing a sunscreen. For instance, if you can usually
tolerate the sun for 10 minutes without a burn, an SPF 15 will
provide you with 15 times that, or 150 minutes of protection
without burning.
Sun Facts
---------
Remember to take care of your skin in the sun with these sun
facts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Sun protection keeps your skin looking its best – the harmful
effects of UV rays build up over time. Make sun care a part of
your daily routine.
* Your face requires about a teaspoon of sunscreen for the best
coverage, while your arms and legs require about a tablespoon.
Adjust accordingly for the torso. For maximum protection, wait
for it to soak in (15 to 30 minutes) before indulging in the sun.
* Sweating, swimming, and towel drying can remove sunscreen from
your skin's surface, so be sure to reapply and lather up when
needed, at least every two hours
* If you are looking for a glow, make sure it's a y one.
Start by using a high SPF to build color slowly and safely.
* The sun is strongest between the hours of 10:00 am – 4:00 pm,
so be extra sure to protect yourself during these hours.
* The sun's rays are more intense in tropical and semi-tropical
locations because exposure becomes more direct as you get closer
to the equator. Intensity is also increased in higher elevations
where the atmosphere is thinner. Extra protection for skin and
eyes is necessary in both cases. Choose a higher SPF in these
geographical locations.
* UVB rays are stronger in the summer. Choose a higher SPF during
those months. UVA remains more or less constant throughout the
year.
* Surfaces such as water, sand, snow, and pavement all reflect
and intensify exposure. Because of this you can still get burned
even when wearing a hat or sitting in the shade.
* Wear sunscreen even on cloudy or hazy days. UV rays can
penetrate these atmospheric conditions and cause sunburn.
* You can cut down on the overall exposure received by spending
intermittent periods of time in the shade.
* Many medications, including certain antibiotics, heart and
blood pressure medicines, antihistamines, and antidepressants,
can cause photosensitive reactions when the user is exposed to
sunlight. This can result in an unusual "sunburn," or a or
other ic-type reaction to the skin. Individual
sensitivities vary widely and may not happen to every user, every
time. Consult your physician or cist before sun exposure
when using ANY medication.
* Some fragrances can cause photosensitive reactions wherever
they are applied to the skin. Examples of these are bergamot,
citron, lavender, sandalwood, and musk.
