Understanding the Difference Between "UVA" and "UVB"!

Factors influencing UV intensity include season, latitude, and altitude. Summer days are longer, sunlight hits more "vertically" than in winter, and UV levels increase closer to the equator. For every 300 meters of altitude gained, UVB (Ultraviolet B) radiation increases by 4%.

Now, a question. Which of the following is listed in order of strongest reflection?
①Sea → Lawn → Snow → Asphalt → Sand
②Asphalt → Lawn → Sand → Sea → Snow
③Snow → Sand → Sea → Asphalt → Lawn
*Hint: Reflectivity, which determines how strongly sunlight is reflected, is higher on flat surfaces (answer at the bottom of the article).

When it comes to UV protection, it's essential to understand "UVA" (Ultraviolet A) and "UVB" (Ultraviolet B). UVA penetrates deep into the skin, causing darkening and collagen aging; it easily passes through clouds, so its intensity remains constant even on cloudy days. UVB causes redness and stinging, leading to collagen aging and photo-carcinogenesis; it is partially blocked by clouds and glass. Both contribute to age spots, wrinkles, dullness, sagging, skin cancer, and accelerate skin aging.

Sisley's Approach to Sun Care?

① Tailor UV protection to each individual's skin – identify your inherent "skin type."

For those who turn red when exposed to the sun, melanin production is weak. Therefore, "protect your skin with products high in SPF."

For those who tan to a golden brown, melanin production is strong. Therefore, "allow some UV exposure with products low in SPF."

② Use sun care products according to the intensity of sunlight.

For UV protection in urban environments, Sisley's "All Day All Year" is ideal. Its protective effect lasts for 8 hours, eliminating the need for reapplication and shielding your skin from UV and daytime damage all day long.

For sun care during vacations or outdoor activities, choose the most suitable sun care product after assessing your skin type and the UV intensity. Reapply every two hours, or after swimming, regardless of the SPF level.

In this way, select your sun protection items based on your skin's resistance to UV rays (skin type) and the UV intensity of your surroundings. Sisley also offers an After Sun series for comprehensive care.
