Tanning brings out a beautiful sun-kissed glow. But staying out in the sun unprotected for too long, you'll be left with a painful and damaging burn. Sunburn is the result of overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. UVA rays are associated with melanoma, while UVB rays, which don't penetrate the skin as deeply, are associated with sunburn. The long-term effects of repeated bouts of sunburn include sun damage, premature wrinkling and increased risk of skin cancer. Dermstore offers a slate of broad-spectrum sunscreen that block both UVA and UVB rays for maximum sun defense.
