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.

76.factors for skin damage(1)

-

There are many factors that cause skin damage. How does the damage result? They may be from the UV light, pollution , and so on. For example, photoaging and free radical. Then the cells are influenced.   photoaging Sunlight will cause phtoaging. Chronically irradiated skin is metabolically hyperactive, thus giving rise to epidermal hyperplasia and neoplasia , increased production of elastic fibers (solar elastosis), accelerated breakdown and synthesis of collagen , and enhanced inflammatory processes. If DNA damaged and a mutation occurs in the gene, the keratinocytes may lose their ability. Free radical and antioxidants Stratum corneum is frequently and directly exposed not only to UVR but also to other outside forces such as air pollutants, chemical oxidants, smoking, and microorganisms . They are the resources of free radicals . If the protection is insufficient, oxidative damage may occur . Then the chronic accumulation of such deviated cell components may result in t

75.The relations of UV light and the molecular in the skin

The relations of UVlight and the molecular in the skin How do light damage skin? Light consists of a spectrum of photons which contain energy that vary according to the wavelength.  The light interacts on the molecular and then changes their chemical structure or on the subatomic level by creating free radicals. Otherwise, not only UV light but also green, blue, and violet light can damage cells. A photon’s energy can be absorbed into the molecule which is then altered. As the absorption of energy, it can also result in electron changes with the generation of free radicals. A free radical is in fact simply an atom with an unpaired electron that starts up a destructive concatenation of chemical reactions. It may end up causing damage in the cell membranes or in the DNA of the cell. The following are the reaction after exposure to UVB, UVA, and blue light. The influence of increased free radical activity DNA strand breaks occur from increased free radical activity. W e
