58.Protection of UVB and UVA

Protection of UVB and UVA


Protection of UVB and UVA
The indicator of the sunblock lotion could be divided into for UVB and for UVA. Below is the data by the experiment for differential.
1.      The darker skin, the less suntanned. The MED (minimal erythema dose of 24 hrs exposure under sun)is higher as well.
2.      An example of skin testing
MED of UVB is 20-35 mJ/cm2
MED of UVA is 50000-60000 mJ/ cm2
The results show UVA is not easy to cause erythema. But UVB does.

The visible effectiveness of suntanned is from UVB. UVA causes immediate pigment darkening and disappear after few hours. UVA effectiveness is hard to measure and define in the experiment. But UVA will damage the elastin and collagen in dermis for long term. So the alternative testing is defined by the persistent pigment darkening. 

The erythema results in UVB most of the time. It is meaningless if the lotion only protects UVA. It should be careful the long term suntanned, even if you apply the sun block lotion. You may don’t have erythema in the appearance, but dermis may be damaged already that will accumulate skinaging and wrinkles symptom inside.

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical ...

AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (Beta hydroxy acids) The ingredients of AHAs & BHAs and their sources AHAs( water-soluble ) Glycolic acid: sugarcane Latic acid: milk, fruit Malic acid: apple Tartaric acid: grape Hydroxy caprylic acid: hops Citric acid: fruit BHAs ( lipid-soluble ) Salicylic acid: plants AHAs are water-soluble and can only penetrate the outer stratum corneum. The higher concentrations are used to induce an acid peeling effect . They are effective to stimulate keratinocyte growth. For medical treatment, the concentration is higher than 20%, even more than 50%. The main function of AHAs is to modify the barrier function of the skin.  There are the functions of some ingredients.  Glycolic acid can stimulates the production of collagen . Epidermal and dermal remodeling of the extracellular matrix can result from high concentrations. However, l onger treatment intervals may result in collagen deposition . ...
