UVB and UVA rays

UVB rays are the burning rays and are stronger during the summer months. The UVA rays that cause long term damage to the skin are prevalent year round. Look for products which offer protection from both. Never use a product with an SPF less than 15. Try to stay out of direct contact with the sun as much as possible.
