UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree. They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption ( PLE). UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun).
They stimulate the production of free radicals that cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage. UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. Why do I need to integrate sun face care into my daily routine? It leaves an immediate dry touch finish and a long-lasting anti-shine effect of up to eight hours. The ultra-light formula has a sebum-regulating Oil Control technology with L-Carnitine and absorbing micro-particles. Our product is also ‘non-comedogenic’, which means it doesn’t contain ingredients that might block pores and trigger blemishes. Products specially formulated for acne-prone skin, such as Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Oil Control SPF 50+, will give it the protection it needs. It’s also important to be aware that some acne medication and skin peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun and more susceptible to sun-induced skin damage. Dead skin can build up, block pores and exacerbate acne. When skin dries out its external layers harden and this can get in the way of the natural skin-shedding process. This excess sebum is one of the key stages in the development of blemishes. Over exposure to the sun causes it to dry out and the sebaceous glands (which products the sebum that gives skin the oil it needs) go into overdrive.
