sun & uv factor
We all know that the skin uses sunlight to help manufacture vitamin D,an important element for healthy bone formation. But like all things, excess of exposure to sunlight has its downside as well. Too much exposure to ultraviolet or UV rays can cause sunburn. UV also increases the production of free oxygen radicals, small molecules which attack and damage the skin cells, causing the skin to lose elasticity and show signs of premature aging.
how is our skin affected
Once the elastin in the skin gets damaged by excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily, taking longer to heal. Freckles, benign tumours, mottled pigmentation, wrinkles and sallowness are among the main symptoms of skin affected by exposure to the sun.

how sunstop protects
Sunlight has both UVA and UVB rays. UVB radiation
is the main cause of sunburn and skin cancer.
UVA rays, on the other hand, penetrate more deeply into the skin and apart from causing skin aging and wrinkling, are known to play a role in the development of skin cancer too. The harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays can be reduced significantly by avoiding exposure to the sun.
