UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA and this can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.īoth types of UV can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots) and melasma. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree. They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption ( PLE). UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. Try Eucerin Sun Lotion Extra Light Photoaging Control SPF 50+.
