7. What are UV Rays? What are UVA and UVB rays? How do they affect the skin?UV radiations are a form of electromagnetic radiation that come from natural sources such as sunlight, or from artificial sources such as tanning beds and lasers. There are 3 types of UV rays viz. UVA, UVB, UVC. UVC is filtered out by the ozone layer and doesn’t reach the earth surface. UVB reaches/penetrates the epidermis (upper layer of skin surface) and UVA penetrates the till hypodermis (deeper layer of skin). These rays can cause tanning, burning, redness, premature ageing and cancer.
8. What is the difference between physical and chemical sunscreen? Is Dewy Sunscreen Lotion physical or chemical based?/ How do chemical and mineral sunscreens work?
