		Sun exposure is the number one contributing-and-controllable-factor of premature aging. No tan is a safe tan. A suntan is a response to injurious assault by U.V. light to the skin. It is the skin’s way of trying to protect itself by triggering a rise in melanin-the naturally occurring protective pigment which darkens the skin. When the tanning mechanism is activated it is also a sure sign that damage is taking place. More Information? Call 602 - 381 - 0359






			There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB). Both are harmful for different reasons. UVA rays cause most skin cancers and aging (remember A for aging). They penetrate the skin and may effect the DNA of new cells being formed which in turn has the potential to accelerate skin aging and create cancerous cells. UVA rays have lengths of 320 to 400 nanometers and can penetrate glass. Most importantly, they are only blocked by physical blocking agents, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which reflect or scatter the rays before they penetrate the skin. UVB rays are the principal cause of sunburn (remember B for burn) and penetrate the upper layers of the skin. UVB have lengths of 280 to 320 nanometers and cannot penetrate glass. UVB rays are absorbed primarily by sunscreens, such as octinoxate and octisalate. Learn more
