UVA can cause skin cancer and accelerate ageing

UVB (ultraviolet-B short wave) rays will burn the skin

Sun damage is the major cause for early onset ageing of the skin

UVA rays are stable throughout the day

UVB is at its peak between 10am and 2pm

SPF (sun protection factor) measures the UVB protection level

Sun damage can take 20 years to reveal itself on the skin

FALSE:

Dermatologists say people can sun-bake safely

The brand of sun protection cream is important

Olive-skinned people will get just as sunburnt as fair-skinned if exposed to the same amount of UVB rays

An SPF factor of 10 is high enough

There's no need to wear sunscreen if the sun is not shining

A moisturiser with an SPF is enough to protect skin exposed to the sun
