☀️ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UVA AND UVB? Many people think UV rays only exist on sunny days, but in reality, UV rays are still present even when it’s cloudy or when sitting near windows. 🔸 UVA – The Aging Ray • Penetrates deep into the dermis • Breaks down collagen and elastin • Causes pigmentation, melasma, wrinkles, and skin sagging • Can pass through glass and is present all day ➡️ UVA is the “silent enemy” that accelerates skin aging over time. 🔸 UVB – The Burning Ray • Affects mainly the skin surface • Causes sunburn, redness, and tanning • Strongly stimulates melanin production • Most intense during midday hours ➡️ UVB is the main cause of sunburn and immediate skin damage after sun exposure. ✨ In summary • UVA = Aging + pigmentation + wrinkles • UVB = Sunburn + tanning 🧴 That’s why it’s important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB. Don’t wear sunscreen only at the beach. Daily sun exposure is one of the main reasons why melasma, pigmentation, and skin rejuvenation treatments may take longer to show results. #Whatsapp_86853536 #51a_haji_lane_singapore_189244
