UV protection refers to measures taken to shield the skin and eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. This radiation can lead to skin damage, sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen with a high SPF, protective clothing, and sunglasses can help reduce exposure to UV rays. There are two main types of UV radiation: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply and are associated with aging, while UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn. Both types can harm the skin, making UV protection essential for maintaining skin health and preventing long-term damage.
