UV Radiation and Skin Damage UV rays come in two types: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays, causing significant damage over time. UVA exposure leads to photo-aging, which includes wrinkles, sagging, and hyperpigmentation. These long rays also weaken elastin and break down collagen, leading to loss of skin elasticity and firmness. UVB rays, though they affect the skin's surface more directly, contribute to sunburn and skin damage, which can also accelerate aging. Both types of UV rays can harm the skin's cell membranes, known as lysosomes, which contain vital enzymes that protect skin cells. Excessive exposure can impair the skin's ability to retain moisture, resulting in dryness, and in extreme cases, can contribute to the development of skin cancer.

Melanin formation, which is responsible for skin's pigmentation, is entirely dependent on UV radiation exposure. Overexposure can trigger severe long-term effects, including increased risk of skin cancer and irreversible skin damage.


Target and Benefits:

DermaShield SPF40 Sunscreen is designed to provide high protection from both UVA and UVB rays, helping to shield your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. The sunscreen features transparent Zinc Oxide, a proven ingredient that offers effective protection against UVA rays, which are primarily responsible for premature aging and skin damage.

Benefits:

  • Prevents Photo-Aging: Protects against UVA rays that break down collagen, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and dark spots.

  • Preserves Skin Structure: Helps maintain the integrity of skin cells by preventing damage to their membranes, which are essential for cell function and longevity.

  • Enhances Hydration: Reduces the skin’s vulnerability to moisture loss, keeping your skin hydrated and supple.

  • Reduces Skin Cancer Risk: Provides reliable protection against both UVA and UVB radiation, lowering the risk of skin cancer and severe photo-damage.

When applied as directed, DermaShield SPF40 keeps your skin safe from the harmful effects of the sun, promoting a healthy, youthful appearance.
