The core of our issue
Ultraviolet A (UVA) has a longer wavelength, and is
associated with skin aging.
Ultraviolet B (UVB) has a shorter wavelength and is
associated with skin burning.

Unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA

in skin cells, producing genetic defects, or mutations,
that can lead to skin cancer
premature aging
cataracts
eyelid cancers.

Damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases

your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can
repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can’t
repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over
time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to
multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumors.

 The Difference
Physical Sunscreen
1) Physical sunblock sits on top
of the skin and reflects the
sun’s rays.
2) . The minerals titanium
dioxide and zinc oxide are
the main active ingredients
in physical blocks.
3) Less irritating and a better
fit for sensitive skin.
4) More moisturizing, which
can feel heavy on the skin.
5) Difficult to fully blend into
the skin.
Chemical Sunscreen
1) It absorbs into the skin and
then absorbs UV rays,
converts the rays into heat,
and releases them from the
body.
2) The active ingredients are
oxybenzone, avobenzone,
octisalate, octocrylene,
homosalate, or octinoxate
3) Absorbs quickly into the skin
4) Better for when in water or if
you get sweaty

sunscreen? SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays

SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
Reapply every In water SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays

To get the protection labeled on the
product, you would need to replicate
Sun protection factor the application they do in the lab,
which is 2 milligrams per square
centimeter for the average person.
That translates to half a teaspoon on
the face and neck combined — a
quarter teaspoon each — and 1
SPF 15 SPF 30 SPF 50 teaspoon per arm and leg each, front
and back
