Science Behind Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50
The Difference Between UVA + UVB Rays
Protection from UV radiation is an essential step in maintaining skin health. Two types of UV rays, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB), penetrate the atmosphere and can accelerate visible signs of aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.
UVA rays are associated with accelerated aging and can penetrate through windows and clouds.
UVB rays cause sunburn by damaging the epidermis, causing redness, blistering, while increasing the risk of cancer.
To decrease the risk of the damage from rays, apply Sheer Physical UV Defense daily.
TIP: Boost Environmental Protection to protect skin from environmental aggressors, always pair Sheer Physical UV Defense with an antioxidant.
