Sunscreens
Vs. Sunblocks
Sunscreens
are chemicals which absorb the ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sunscreens
mostly protect against UV-B rays.
Sunblocks
are physical blocks which absorb some rays and reflect back
the rest. The primary one, zinc oxide, is now available in
finely micronized form, which makes them transparent.
Zinc oxide in particular blocks the full spectrum of rays
all the way up to 380 nanometers (nm), covering very dangerous
rays not stopped by sunscreens. Therefore, physical blocks,
especially zinc oxide, are much more effective than chemical
sunscreens in blocking UV-A rays and should be an important
component of any sunblock.
Premature
Aging, Skin Cancer .. What’s The Problem?
Skin
cancer is going up, even while sunscreen use has been increasing.
Some scientists believe one reason is the sunscreens stop
UV-B rays from burning, so people stay in the sun longer,
thinking they are protected. However, this leads to more UV-A
exposure and long-term damage, especially in the areas of
“photo aging” and skin cancer.
While
both UV-A and UV-B rays are likely to contribute to skin cancer
and aging, research indicates the UV-A rays may be the greater
source of damage. By penetrating to the dermis/epidermis junction
where skin cells are formed, the UV-A rays appear to damage
chromosomes during cell division and trigger cancerous cell
production. In addition, the UV-A rays harden the collagen
fibers which support the skin. These fibers then break, contributing
to wrinkles and sagging.
The Solution - Broad Spectrum UV-A
& UV-B Block
Use
a suncare product which combines chemical sunscreens for adequate
blocking of UV-B rays, plus physical blocks, especially zinc
oxide, for broad spectrum UV-A protection. Apply on a daily
basis.
