Understanding sunlight
Too much sunlight is harmful and can damage the skin. There are two main types of damaging ultraviolet (UV) sunlight, UVA and UVB. UVA has an effect of ageing the skin and causing wrinkles and other damage to deeper layers of skin. UVB causes sun tanning but also burning. It can also cause other damage to the skin.
Who is at risk from the sun?
All people are at risk if exposed to too much sun. People most at risk are those with fair skin, freckles, red or ginger hair. It is not just people who sunbathe who are at risk. Outdoor workers and people simply being outdoors who do not protect their skin are also at risk.
