What is different from UVA and UVB?

"UVA"

Generally, UVA rays cause premature aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging and dark spots.

"UVB"

UVB stimulates the production of new melanin, which leads to a heavy increase in the dark-coloured pigment within a few days. This tan may last a relatively long time. UVB also stimulates the cells to produce a thicker epidermis. Therefore, UVB is responsible both for the darkening and thickening of the outer cell layers – these reactions are the body's defence against further UV damage.

Avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The sun's UV rays are strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
If you have to go outdoor, avoid these times. But if you have to go outside during midday, try to limit the length of time you are in the sun.

Wear the sunblock items

When you have to go outside during the sun's peak time, you need to wear sunglasses, hat, sunblock cloth, glove and use sunscreen. Especially dark clothing can block more sunlight than lighter colored ones.

Eat some lycopene

Lycopene, that famous carotenoid found in tomatoes, has been shown in a recent in vivo RCT to protect humans against sun damage. Healthy women, aged 21-47, who ate 55 g of tomato paste containing 16 mg of lycopene every day for 12 weeks experienced significant protection against acute – and potentially long term – sun damage. Remember that cooked tomatoes, and tomato products like paste and sauce, offer far more bioavailable lycopene than raw tomatoes. If you’re counting, 55 grams of tomato paste is a hair over 3 tablespoons worth.
