Exposure to UV rays, aka sunlight besides being able to burn the skin can also cause skin cancer. Well, one effective way to prevent skin damage is to use sunscreen.
Sunscreen is a skin care product in the form of a lotion, spray, gel, foam or stick that can be used to protect the skin from UV radiation, both UVA and UVB.
While both UVA and UVB are bad for the skin, UVA rays do more damage because they can penetrate the deepest parts of your skin. Just imagine, UVA radiation can penetrate clouds and glass, be it during the day, night, even when the weather is cloudy. UVA rays can accelerate skin aging and cause wrinkles and dark spots.
While UVB (Ultraviolet-Burning) rays are sunlight that has a shorter wavelength than UVA rays. UVB rays don't penetrate glass and clouds, but their radiation is much stronger than UVB. Short exposure to UVB rays can cause sunburn.
If the skin is often exposed to radiation from these two rays, your risk of developing skin cancer is even greater.
Types of Sunscreens
Based on the ingredients used, sunscreen is categorized into two types, namely:
Physical sunscreen
It works by creating a layer on the surface of the skin so it can block UV rays from penetrating the inner layers of the skin. These sunscreens usually contain active ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Sunscreen chemicals
It works by creating a layer on the surface of the skin to absorb UV radiation energy, so it doesn't get absorbed or penetrate the deep layers of the skin. Chemical sunscreens contain several active ingredients such as cinnamates, octisalate, oxybenzone, dioxybenzone. This type of sunscreen is often referred to as sunblock.
Most sunscreen formulations sold in the market are a combination of physical and chemical.
