The Importance of Using Sunscreen.

The skin of the face is an indicator of our state of health, and, besides, its appearance can influence our self-esteem since the face is the most visible and exposed part of our body. This also makes it the most prone to being attacked by external agents, which is why we have to put special effort into its care. It is essential to use facial sunscreen every day since the facial skin is almost continuously exposed to the sun and UV rays directly. Besides, the thickness of the skin in this area of the body is thinner, making it more fragile and vulnerable to solar radiation.

What is solar radiation?

Solar radiation is the set of radiation emitted by the sun, among which are ultraviolet (UV) and infrared rays.

UV radiation, our skin faces two types of radiation:

UVA: they have a wavelength of between 320 and 400 nm and penetrate the skin’s deepest layers. They trigger the processes of allergies and solar reactions and, in the long term, photoaging.
UVB: its wavelength is between 290 and 320 nm, and they are responsible for the development of redness and burns of the skin, also known as solar erythema.
Infrared radiation: these can enhance the negative effects of UVB and UVA radiation on our skin. Its wavelength is above 760 nm.
