Ultraviolet rays (UV rays) reach the earth from sun, whether or not it is cloudy or not. We get exposed to UV rays. The UV rays are not visible to naked eye and are divided into three types of rays; UVA, UVB and UVC. The UVC rays get deflected by ozone layer, clouds etc and do not reach earth. However the other two types of rays UVA and UVB penetrate the earth’s atmosphere and play an important role in skin conditions such as premature skin aging, eye damage including cataracts, skin cancer, suntan, sun burn etc. UVA rays amount to 95% of all UV rays and rest is UVB. UVA is known to cause skin premature aging and skin wrinkling. UVA is also known as tanning ray. Whether one is sitting in a salon or sitting outdoor or on a beach, UVA caused cumulative damage to skin over time. A tan results from injury to skin’s DNA. The skin darkens in an imperfect attempt to prevent further damage to DNA and may lead to skin cancer.
UVB on the other hand causes skin reddening and skin burns year around. It plays a key role in causing skin cancer, attacking the skin’s superficial epidermal layer. So protect yourself from sun’s ultraviolet rays by using Littles Skin Care’s minerals based sunscreen. There are so many sunscreens on the market. Most sunscreens out in the market contain synthetic chemical blockers such as Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, Octisalate, Octinoxate, Avobenzone etc. As we have stated previously, Oxybenzone and Octonoxate containing sunscreens have been banned in the state of Hawaii, Florida Keys and other places. The sunscreens with the above listed chemicals not only suffocate while applying but will irritate eyes when sweating. They have to be reapplied every two hours while sitting in sun. The sunscreen washes off from sweat.

Meaning of the SPF number
SPF stands for sun protection factor. It simply means how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to redden (burn) your skin when covering all exposed skin as directed versus the amount of time without any sunscreen protection. So ideally, with littles minerals based sunscreens, SPF 21, it would take 21 time longer to burn your skin than if not wearing any sunscreen.
