Habit Hack: Decoding UVA and UVB for Healthier Skin
What is UVA
UVA rays deeply penetrate the skin, accelerating ageing and increasing the risk of skin cancer. They're present all year round, can pass through clouds and glass, and require consistent protection.
What is UVB
UVB rays cause sunburn and are mainly intense during the middle of the day and in the warmer months. They don't penetrate glass but reflect off surfaces, heightening exposure when outdoors.

- Prevent Sunburn
- Avoid Skin Damage
- Avoid Hyperpigmentation
Choosing the Right Sun Protection
