Article: What is UVA, UVB and UVC radiation

Sunlight consists of a wide range of different wavelengths of radiation. Some of these we can sense - the warmth we feel in sunlight comes from Infra-Red radiation, and the light we can see comes from radiation in the visible spectrum. There are other wavelengths in sunlight that we can't see, and chief among these are those in the Ultra Violet group. There are at least three different types of Ultra-Violet radiation and these are generally referred to as UVA, UVB and UVC.

UVA Radiation - A for Ageing

This is potentially the most damaging form as it penetrates deep into the skin where it can cause changes to the living cells in the basal layer. It is now understood that these changes to living skin cells are the primary cause of the most serious forms of skin cancer.

UVA also damages collagen and elastin, the main cause of wrinkles and premature ageing in skin that is often exposed to sunlight.

UVB Radiation - B for Burning

UVB radiation causes the appearance of a tan after sun exposure. It does this by stimulating the formation of the pigment 'melanin' in the deeper layers of the skin. Melanin acts as a skin protector by filtering out UV light - it is in fact part of our natural defence against sun damage.

UVB is also what causes sunburn.  It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and damages the skin's more superficial epidermal layers.  It also contributes toward skin ageing.

And UVC Radiation?

UVC has the shortest wavelength and is not thought to have significant effects on skin health.
