Protect your Skin with Window Film
Protect your Skin
Effects of direct sunlight
During summer when we go out outside we protect ourselves with clothing, sunglasses, hats and sunscreen - we know the damage the sun can cause our skin.
However, we are not only exposed to sunlight when we venture outside - glazing in windows and doors allow the suns rays to reach us while we are indoors too.
Ultraviolet radiation is present in sunlight all year round - and reaches us even when it is cloudy.
UV Rays have many negative effects on our skin, they;
- Cause 90% of all premature skin aging and wrinkles
- Destroy Vitamin A in the skin, which contributes to cell damage
- Damage collagen, the structural protein that keeps skin cells firm, causing wrinkles and sagging.
- Are increasingly being linked to skin cancer
| Type of UV radiation | Effects |
|---|---|
| UVA | Skin aging, eye damage, linked to skin cancer |
| UVB | Sunburn, premature skin aging, eye damage, linked to skin cancer |
| UVC | Most destructive but mostly stopped by the ozone layer |
