As temperatures rise, it's not just you—this summer seems to be bringing the heat. Let's shed some light on the sun and unravel the essentials of its impact on your skin health.
Basking in sunlight goes beyond a warm glow; it triggers the release of serotonin in your brain, boosts bone health, aids sleep function, and can even be therapeutic for certain skin conditions. Understanding the facts about sunlight and its effects is crucial for your skin's well-being.
The Radiance of Sunlight: A Spectrum of Benefits and Caution
Sunlight is a potent source, releasing a blend of visible and invisible rays to Earth. UVA rays, with longer waves, reach the surface, while UVB rays, with shorter waves, can cause sunburn and influence skin elasticity. Melanated individuals enjoy a natural skin protection factor (SPF) of up to 13, filtering more UV radiation due to higher melanin levels.
Sunlight also prompts vitamin D production in the skin, benefiting bone function and overall health. While it induces melanin production, leading to a darker complexion, excessive UVB exposure can burn the skin and impact elasticity. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:
What You Need to Know:
- Non-melanated or fair-skin individuals require extra protection from UVB rays.
