¿How do sun rays actually affect your skin?

You probably think you already know all about sun damage, but there are a few things that you might be taking for granted.

There’s UVA and UVB radiation coming from the sun, both penetrate your skin’s layers: the epidermis (top layer) and the dermis (deeper layer), and both affect your skin in different ways.

For example, UVA rays penetrate into the dermis, where your skin’s collagen and elasticity lives, this causes loose skin and premature aging.

While UVB affect your epidermis, generating unpleasant sunburns and eye problems.

You won’t even notice part of the damage immediately because sun damage is also cumulative, which means it builds up over time starting when you were just a baby However, it sure shows up as you get older.

This is just one of the reasons why an After Sun Facial Repair Treatment after a vacation in Aruba is a must!

The results of accumulated sun damage on your skin

Sunburns

Sunburns are the most common negative effect of excessive sun exposure.

If you have experienced sunburn before, and to be honest, who hasn’t? You’ve probably noticed that symptoms don’t usually appear until four or five hours after you’ve had too much fun at the beach.

Wrinkles

Wrinkles are associated with aging, but sun exposure is a significant factor to determine how early they appear.
