UVB rays

中波紫外线

“People think that SPF equals everything,” says Dr. Roopal Kundu, a dermatologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. And it does count for a lot: the sun protection factor measures a sunscreen’s ability to filter UVB rays, which are related to sunburn and skin cancer. But SPF only measures UVB rays; it doesn’t tell you anything about protection from UVA rays, Kundu says.

西北大学费因伯格医学院皮肤科医生昆都称：“人们认为防晒系数代表一切。”防晒系数的确很重要：它衡量的是防晒霜过滤中波紫外线的能力，中波紫外线与晒伤和皮肤癌有关。但防晒系数仅表示过滤中波紫外线的能力，它并不代表任何防护长波紫外线的能力。

UVA rays

长波紫外线

The most misunderstood part of sunscreen is UVA. “UVA is around every day; it can penetrate through window glass,” she says. Like UVB, it’s also related to an increased risk of skin cancer, but unlike UVB, it’s not filtered by the ozone at all, Kundu says. UVA doesn’t cause sunburn, but “it really leads to darkening and aging, because it penetrates deeper into the skin and has more influence in the collagen.”

人们对防晒霜最大的误解是长波紫外线。昆都表示，“长波紫外线随时都围绕着我们，它可以穿透窗户玻璃。”和中波紫外线一样，长波紫外线也与增加患皮肤癌的风险有关，但与中波紫外线不同的是，长波紫外线完全没有经过臭氧层的过滤。长波紫外线不会导致晒伤，“但会让皮肤变黑老化，因为它能更深入皮肤，对胶原蛋白产生更大影响”。
