Get into any girl chat and one of
the hottest topics today would be skin whitening. Fairness has always been
associated with being beautiful, and fairness without pigmentation and dark
spot is what many women aim to have.
To be fair is to have no
pigmentation and spot. Pigmentation is formed due to an excess of melanin in
the skin, which produces brown pigmentation on normal skin color. The result is
that patches of skin become darker than normal skin colour.
UVA causes ageing and UVB
causes burning. Both are harmful to our skin!
UV, which
stands for ultraviolet, is the radioactive ray emitted by the sun. We all know
this is harmful, but do you know why
it is harmful? UVA and UVB are the two types of damaging UV rays- UVA causes ageing
and UVB causes burnings- and both are very harmful to human skin. UVA rays
penetrate deeper into the dermis or base layer of the skin, resulting in a loss
of elasticity that causes the skin to sag, wrinkle, and age prematurely. Large
doses of UVB radiation cause acute sunburn, redness, burning sensation, and
blistering.

So how
exactly does UVA rays form pigmentation? Most experts agree that up to 80% of
skin aging can be attributed to UVA rays. They activate the melanin stored in
the epidermis, and produce a pigmentation effect visible within one hour but
usually fade in 24 hours. Many people think by just hiding under the shade or
staying indoors, they can avoid UVA rays, but UVA rays can penetrate the glass as well.
