As summer temperatures rise, health experts warn that stronger ultraviolet radiation, known as UV, can significantly increase the risk of skin cancer, often through damage that builds silently over time. UV rays as skin health’s enemy UV radiation is an invisible form of energy emitted by the sun. Although it cannot be seen, it can penetrate the skin and damage cells. There are two main types of UV rays that affect the skin: UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are linked to premature aging, wrinkles, and long-term cellular changes; UVB rays mainly affect the skin’s surface and are the primary cause of sunburn.
