UNTIL RECENTLY, sunsreen protected you from UBV rays. Now, they are finally selling sunscreen that protects you from BOTH UVB AND UVA, which is also dangerous. In a related story of marketing manipulation, when you buy sunglass's BEWARE. The sticker on it will say 100% UV PROTECTION. What they don't say is that protection is from UVB ONLY! UVA rays are very damaging. According to my vision Dr. who is brilliant, wearing sunglass's with only UVB protection is WORSE than wearing no sunglasses! Here's why: with NO sunglasses, your pupil will close MORE and let less harmful rays into your eyes. When you wear UVB sunglasses, the pupil is shaded, and tricks your pupil to open wider. THEN, MORE dangerous UVA rays can enter you eyes and causeWORSE damage!!!!! Whenever you buy sunglasses, spend the extra money and buy ONLYthe ones that say "Protects against UVA & UVB rays."

One way to reduce the impact of UV rays on Earth is to protect the ozone layer, which acts as a shield against harmful UV radiation. Using environmentally-friendly products and reducing the emission of ozone-depleting substances can help in this regard. Additionally, promoting the use of sunscreen and protective clothing can help reduce the impact of UV rays on individuals.
The integumentary system, which includes the skin, hair, and nails, protects us from UV rays by producing melanin, a pigment that absorbs UV radiation and helps to prevent skin damage. Additionally, the skin thickens in response to UV exposure, providing a physical barrier to further protect underlying tissues. Sunscreen can also be applied to further protect the skin from UV damage.

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures the protection of clothing against UV rays, while SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures the protection of sunscreen against UV rays. UPF indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate fabric, while SPF indicates how long sunscreen protects skin from UVB rays. UPF is more consistent and reliable in protecting against both UVA and UVB rays, while SPF only measures protection against UVB rays. It is important to use both UPF-rated clothing and SPF-rated sunscreen for comprehensive protection against harmful UV rays.
