Ultraviolet (UV) rays gradually increase from before summer. There are two types of UV rays that affect the skin: UVA (ultraviolet A rays) and UVB (ultraviolet B rays).
UVA is long-wavelength ultraviolet light; although its energy is weak, it penetrates deep into the skin. UVB, on the other hand, is short-wavelength ultraviolet light. The high energy of UVB is a cause of dryness and other skin problems.
