The U.S. Food and Drug Administration plans to change sunscreen labels to include a ranking of ultraviolet-A ray protection.Ultraviolet-B rays are what cause sunburn, and currently the SPF ratings on sunscreen products refers to protection against UVB rays. Ultraviolet-A rays are what cause skin damage like wrinkles, or even cancer. Currently, sunscreen products have no standard UVA rating, so consumers are not sure how much protection they are getting from long-term skin damage.The FDA is expected to implement a standard UVA ray rating system on sunscreen products this fall. Products will be ranked between one and four stars, with one star being the least amount of UVA protection and four being the most.If you or someone you know is in need of skin rejuvenation, contact the Houston skin rejuvenation specialists of Dermagenix Medical Spa at 713-662-3376 to set up a consultation.(Source)
