GOT QUESTIONS WE’VE GOT THE ANSWERS:
UVA and UVB radiation are familiar terms, but what do they mean and how do they affect us?
ULTRAVIOLET (UV) RAYS
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are invisible and are divided into UVA, UVB and UVC rays. UVA rays cause long-term skin damage, including skin cancer and premature skin ageing, while UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn. Approximately 10 times more UVA rays reach the earth’s surface than UVB rays. UVC rays are absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere and don’t affect the skin.
The intensity of sun radiation is dependent on several factors, including the time of year, time of day, latitude, altitude, ground reflections and weather conditions. The sun is brighter at midday, for example, and at high altitudes, less UV radiation is absorbed by the thinner atmosphere.
The sun makes life on earth possible, but it can also have harmful effects — especially without sufficient sun protection.
IMMEDIATE EFFECTS
Immediate pigmentation: The first colour-related effect of exposure to the sun is known as “immediate pigmentation”, or a colouring that appears during exposure and disappears within 2 hours. Caused by UVA and visible light, immediate pigmentation does not protect against sunburn. Persistent pigment darkening (PPD)
PPD appears during exposure and remains for up to several days. It is not protective.
DELAYED EFFECTS
Sunburn: If you don’t protect yourself from high doses of UV rays, these rays will start penetrating the layers of the skin. Eventually, blood vessels below the skin’s surface will expand and leak fluids, causing inflammation and redness. Sunburn normally first appears 2-6 hours after the start of exposure, reaches its maximum intensity within 24-36 hours and disappears after 3-5 days.
Tanning (delayed pigmentation)
Tanning starts 3-5 days after sun exposure, when special skin cells called melanocytes start synthesising melanin, the body’s natural tanning pigment. Melanin is then transferred to neighbouring cells called keratinocytes, which are the main cell type in the epidermis or upper layer of your skin. Unlike immediate pigmentation, actual tanning does help protect against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Tanning fades progressively, but remember that people with a natural suntan also need to apply sunscreen, as a tan does not provide sufficient protection from UV exposure.
LONG-TERM EFFECTS
Skin ageing: Sun exposure plays a major role in the skin’s ageing process. Up to 90% of all visible signs of ageing can be attributed to the harmful effects of sun exposure.
Skin cancer (malignant melanoma)
Skin cancer, or malignant melanoma, appears to be caused by damage to the DNA structure of skin cells that are exposed to the sun — with just 5% of all carcinomas occurring on areas of the skin that are not exposed. Damage to these skin cells leads to the growth of degenerated cells that in turn result in cancer. In Europe, skin cancer is far more prevalent in the north, where people’s skin tends to contain less pigmentation.
ACCIDENTAL EFFECTS
Solar intolerances: The most common type of sun-induced skin eruption is the benign summer light eruption (BSLE). Particularly common among young women, BSLE appears as small, itchy papules on the throat, upper chest and back of the forearms. The condition appears within hours after intense sun exposure and disappears within a few days.
