The most common types of sun damage are sunburn, premature skin aging (such as wrinkles and age spots) and an increased risk of skin cancer

Symptoms of sunburn include red skin that feels hot, pain, itching, swelling, blistering, and in severe cases, fever and chills.

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to skin aging and skin cancer, while UVB rays mainly affect the top layer of skin and can cause sunburn.

Use sunscreen EVERY day and reapply every two hours and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.

Yes, UV rays can penetrate clouds and reflect off surfaces such as water, sand and concrete, which can cause sunburn even in the shade.

A diet rich in antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E) can help protect the skin from within, but it should never replace external protection with sunscreen.

Regular sun exposure can lead to premature skin aging, including wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots and an overall rough skin appearance. In the long term, it increases the risk of developing skin cancer, especially melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and cause DNA damage, which can lead to skin aging and skin cancer. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn and direct DNA damage, which can also cause skin cancer. Both types of rays are harmful and require protective measures.

Our UV-Defense sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB rays

Sun protection is crucial for preventing wrinkles. UV rays are a major cause of skin aging and wrinkles. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily can help protect skin from UV damage and delay the onset of wrinkles.

Wear sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days. Be sure to cover all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands.

Choose clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and wide-brimmed hats. Special ultraviolet protective clothing (UPF) offers additional protection from the sun.

Avoid direct sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV rays are strongest. Seek shade under trees, umbrellas or other protective structures

Tanning beds and solariums emit harmful UV rays that can increase the risk of skin cancer and cause premature skin aging. Avoid artificial tanning methods and opt for healthy alternatives such as self-tanners.

Check your skin regularly for unusual changes such as new moles, changes in existing moles, or other noticeable skin changes. Consult a dermatologist if you notice any suspicious skin changes or have any questions about skin health.
