UVA ( Ageing) is responsible for ageing damage to the skin, makes up 95% of UV radiation and penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin accelerating ageing by free . UVA rays are present during all hours and throughout the winter months. UVA also penetrates glass and clouds, so even when we think we are safe we should still be applying  topical UV protection.

UVB (burning) is responsible for and can induce skin cancer.

UVC (cancer inducing) is highly carcinogenic, but is mainly absorbed by the ozone-rich . However with ozone depletion, UVC radiation may become a more important factor in skin cancer in the future.

The SPF rating is a measure of sunburn-producing UV rays blocked, e.g. SPF 15 means 1/15 of the radiation will reach the skin, the cream is applied correctly and .  You can determine the effectiveness by multiplying the SPF factor by the length of time it takes for the without sunscreen.  So if a person develops a in the skin after 10mins with no sunscreen, the reaction would be delayed by 150 (10mins x 15 ) mins if wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 15.

Sunscreens can be (organic) or mineral (physical or inorganic), the main being that suncare products contain UV filtering that take time to be absorbed by the skin (hence apply 20mins before exposure). By contrast mineral UV creams contain protective such as zinc oxide and dioxide and form a on top of the skin. With skin allergies or sun creams may not irritate the skin as much.
