This is what you look like in ultraviolet


03:06
we’re reminded that darker colors absorb more than lighter colors. Therefore, we see where on these peoples’ faces their skin absorbs more UV light and where it doesn’t (where dark spots appear). Those spots show where our skin is being affected by the sun. As UV rays pass through our skin’s layers they can eventually encounter melanin in the epidermis, the inner layer of our skin. It is the melanin that scatters the UV rays before any harm can come to our DNA.
But does sunscreen really help? The answer is yes; however, it’s not the perfect solution to prevent skin cancer. In fact, regardless of whether the sky is clear or if it’s overcast, UV rays still affect your skin and unfortunately sunscreen isn’t the ultimate protection either. In a molecular study by scientists at Manchester University and London’s Institute of Cancer Research on malignant melanoma, the results found that even the highest grade SPF 50 still allowed enough radiation to damage cells.
