Solar Radiation

Sunbathing is good for both body and soul. Unfortunately, however, there is a downside to this. Ultraviolet radiation (UV) can damage the skin. Whereas we can feel the sun’s heat rays and see its visible light rays, we cannot see or feel its dangerous ultraviolet rays.

These can be subdivided into UVA and UVB radiation:

UVA rays promote skin ageing and allergies and result in a superficial tan. They can also increase the risk of cancer.
UVB rays are responsible not just for tanning the skin, but for sunburn, too.

UV filters are protective filter substances which absorb these dangerous rays and so protect the skin against any damaging effects they might have.
