The Best Sunscreen

The Best Sunscreen

So even with the best sunscreen available in the US, we are still not protected against harmful UVA rays. So why are UVA rays so harmful?

"Ultraviolet A light ages your skin. And the reason it does that, it's a longer wavelength, so it can penetrate deeper into the skin, and instead of attacking the upper layers of the skin where skin cancer often forms, it attacks the layers that give your skin its tone, its elasticity, as we call it. … You get the lines, the wrinkles, all the things associated from aging," said Dr. Darrell Rigel, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University.

So even with the best sunscreen on our bodies, at low-level exposures, UVA light breaks down collagen, which causes wrinkles. Unless we take of advantage of the best sunscreen available in the world which contains the chemical Mexoryl, we are truly not safe from premature aging of our skin.
