UVA and UVB? But what are they?

UVA rays are responsible for skin aging. It can be said that they are responsible for the most visible effects, such as wrinkles.Be careful, these rays penetrate deep into the skin destroying collagen fibers. UVB rays are responsible for sunburns, both from the sea and from the mountains. These rays pose the greatest danger to the skin because they act directly on the dermis. In 90% of cases, they are responsible for skin cancer.

And what is the SPF?

The SPF, or sun protection factor, usually equal to 15, 30 and 50, indicates the product's ability to protect against UVB rays:

• Low protection: SPF of 6 to 10
