THE SUN - Your skins enemy
Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV) radiation, exposure to which damages cells in your skin. There are three wavelengths of UV light: UVA, UVB and UVC. Chronic exposure to UVA damages your skin and plays a role in both ageing and skin cancer. Long term sun exposure also degrades the collagen and elastin structures of the skin, making it less flexible. for all these reasons, it is crucial to apply sunscreen every day.
