Can you explain the difference between UVA and UVB rays and how they affect the skin?

Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays that heat up your skin, cooking the collagen and elastin. UVB rays (think B is for burning) are short in length and heat the skin’s surface, resulting in redness and burning.

Contrary to popular belief, sunburns alone aren’t the only cause of skin damage; they’re an immediate indication that you’re hurting yourself, and a warning to get out of the sun.

UVA rays (think A for aging) are long and penetrate deep into the skin, damaging cells and producing wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dryness and other signs of aging.
