How over-exposure to the sun can damage health.

The Sun’s Rays

The sun’s rays are strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

What comprises these hot, powerful rays? The term ‘UVA’ has made itself comfortable in the modern-day vocabulary. However, it’s only one of the many types of rays spent off by the sun.

UVB rays are the burning rays. These rays are the strongest during summer months because the sun is closer to the earth during this seasonal cycle. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer. They are capable of creating a suppression of the immune system.

UVA rays have the ability to inflict substantial damage to the skin; more pointedly, long-term damage. They are prevalent year-round and unlike the UVB rays. UVA rays can penetrate deep into the base layer of skin (your dermis).

These rays contribute to burning and skin cancer and like the UVB rays they can trigger a suppression of the immune system.
