Sun and Skin

The weather is too hot this days... thus the idea of this topic came into surface.
Did you know that much of the damage that ultraviolet (UV) radiation does to skin occurs hours after sun exposure, a team of researchers has concluded. What is UV radiation ? Ultraviolet radiation (also known as UV radiation or ultraviolet rays) is a form of energy traveling through space.
 The suns ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the best natural source of vitamin D. However, too much UV exposure from the sun and other sources, is major cause of sunburn, premature ageing, eye damage and skin damage leading to  skin cancer.
While noting that news of the carcinogenic effect of melanin is disconcerting, the researchers also pointed to a ray of hope: The slowness of chemiexcitation may allow time for new preventive tools, such as an "evening-after" sunscreen.
Therefore, always endeavour to use sun screen before and after getting into the sun. 
Love, TU9.
