Detailed explanation-1: -UVB is the wavelength of light that penetrates the skin more superficially and causes sunburn. The UV light damages skin cells. The immune system reacts by increasing blood flow to the affected areas, which causes the inflamed skin (erythema) known as sunburn. You can get sunburn on cool or cloudy days.
Detailed explanation-2: -To protect yourself from UV radiation: Wear a wide brim hat to shade your face, head, ears, and neck. Wear wraparound sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays. Use sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher, for both UVA and UVB protection. Avoid indoor tanning.
Detailed explanation-3: -The amount of melanin you produce is determined by genetics, which is why some people get sunburned while others tan. Both are signs of cellular damage to the skin. For people with less melanin, prolonged unprotected sun exposure can cause skin cells to become red, swollen and painful, also known as sunburn.
