UV radiation effects on skin

UV radiation, emitted by the sun and some artificial sources, can harm your skin in several ways. It causes sunburn, leading to redness and pain, and can accelerate skin aging, contributing to wrinkles and age spots. More seriously, prolonged UV exposure increases the risk of skin cancer by damaging the DNA in skin cells. The damage may not be immediately visible, but it accumulates over time. Protecting your skin with sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can help minimize these harmful effects.
