For too long, sun protection has become synonymous with holidays, beaches and summer days. But in reality, UV exposure is a daily concern.
There are three categories of UV rays:
UVC: The most harmful – but thankfully blocked by the Earth’s ozone layer.
UVB: Associated with full sun – these rays reach the outer layer of your skin and cause sunburn.
UVA: Always present (even on cloudy days) – these rays reach deep into the inner layer of your skin and lead to long-term harm.

Daily exposure to UVA and regular exposure to UVB compounds over time – leading to skin damage, and the risk of developing skin cancers.
