TOCCO DEL SOLE-SPRAY TANNING, FRISCO, TX "WHAT ARE UV RAYS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT OUR SKIN?"

There are three types of UV rays...

UVA rays age skin cells and can damage their DNA.  These rays are linked to long-term skin damage such as wrinkles, but they are also thought to play a role in some skin cancers.  Most tanning beds give off large amounts of UVA, which has been found to increase skin cancer risk.

UVB rays can directly damage skin cells' DNA, and are the main rays that cause sunburns.  They are also thought to cause most skin cancers.

UVC rays don't get through our atmosphere and are not in sunlight.  They are not normally a cause of skin cancer. 

So if you are feeling a little pale, don't spend hours in the sun or days in the tanning bed to get that perfect tan.  Get a spray airbrush tan and your skin will thank you.
