Originating from the Sun, Do You Know the Difference Between the Effects of UVA and UVB on the Skin?

What is UVB Light?

What is UVC Light?

"How to Protect Yourself from UV Rays"

The use of sunscreen is one of the easy ways to protect the skin from the dangers of UVA and UVB rays, in addition to wearing covered clothing. Use sunscreen indoors and outdoors with SPF 30 or higher and PA +++. Don't forget to reapply every 2-4 hours.

Use sunscreen on the entire body, especially areas that are not covered by clothing or accessories. Pay attention to the UV index when engaging in outdoor activities.
