The former penetrates the outer layer of your skin, whereas, the latter penetrates deeper! 01 The UV rays might damage vision too! Burning of the cornea, clouding of the eye lens (cataract formation) and even tissue growth on the eye surface 02 can lead to sight loss. 03 Apart from the sun, UV rays are emitted from artificial sources too such as the tanning beds. The several skin problems that they may cause include premature aging, wrinkles, actinic kerastosis, liver spots, and even skin cancer! 04 Did you know that UV rays can even weaken your immune system and cause vaccines to be less effective? www.garnersupply.com
