Fantastic...you provide such a wealth of information! I only hope my post provides you with inspiration to continue helping us. I've been studying Pharmacology in my spare time, and worked at a pharmacy for 5 years. I will follow your posts with great interest. Now I must learn another language! ;-D

UVA rays
penetrate the skin fairly deeply, altering our pigmentation to produce a tan.
UVB rays are the primary sunburn rays. These rays also damage our skin's DNA
and cause photoaging, pigment changes, and carcinomas (cancerous tumors).
UVC rays are absorbed by the atmosphere and don't make it to the ground.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/features/9-skin-care-myths?ecd=wnl_day_051408"><P>The SPF on a sunscreen refers to the amount of protection the product offers
from UVB rays. Sunscreens, therefore, need to offer protection from both UVA
and UVB rays. Look for an SPF of at least 15 and one of the following
ingredients: mexoryl, oxybenzone or avobenzone (Parsol 1789) for UVA
protection, or titanium dioxide or zinc oxide (which block both UVA and
UVB).</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A31D4BC4-EE16-48B7-83AB-372857A89F6A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
