UV protection refers to measures taken to shield the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that comes primarily from the sun but can also be emitted from artificial sources like tanning beds. There are three types of UV radiation: UVA, UVB, and UVC, with UVA and UVB being the most concerning for human health as UVC is mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.
