You know that the sun causes skin damage. And that it’s due to UV rays emitted by the sun. But do you know the difference between UVA and UVB? It’s important to know this. It will forever change the way you look at your daily habits and what sunscreens you choose.

Most people don’t realize that UVA is far more destructive than UVB and is the primary cause of aging. And here’s the kicker — UVA is present every single day of the year, even if it’s cloudy. It also goes straight through window glass. That’s why it’s important to wear sunscreen every day if you’re serious about fighting aging.

In the Sun Protection Guide, I discuss UV radiation at length. It might seem like a boring topic, but it’s one of the most important sections of my entire blog. I consider it essential skin care knowledge. Don’t be daunted – I explain exactly what you need to know in as few words as possible, with clear reminders at the end.
