Screen Queen
When UVB rays penetrate the skin, you can get a physical reaction, such as a burn. On the other hand, when UVA rays hit your skin, a chemical change occurs that causes premature aging, which becomes noticable in your mid-30s. Despite wearing sun protection, you can still tan or burn.
Sunscreens should be applied 30 minutes before going outdoors. Of course, the best protection from the sun is to cover up. Long sleeves, hats and sunglasses create an excellent barrier.
