What is the UVA star rating?

The UVA star rating system measures how effectively sunscreen absorbs UVA rays compared to UVB rays. In simpler terms, it measures how well a sunscreen protects against the sun’s UVA rays. The scoring ranges from 1-5 stars, 5 stars being the most effective. This rating is easy to find and will often be on the front of the bottle. 

UVA and UVB rays are both emitted by the sun, but cause different kinds of damage. Different protection must be used to defend against both types of rays. 

UVA VS UVB

UVA and UVB rays are both forms of UltraViolet radiation emitted by the sun. If not protected against, they can cause long-term damage to your skin. But what's the difference between them?

UVA

UVA rays are the most common form of UltraViolet radiation and are present during the day. They are very powerful and can even penetrate through clouds, so be careful even if the sun isn't out! Because they’re so powerful, they cause more long-term damage than UVB rays. This includes damage to your skin, increasing the appearance of wrinkles and ageing.

The best way to protect against UVA rays is to apply sunscreen with a UVA star rating. Ideally, choose a 5 star UVA rating sunscreen to ensure the best possible protection. Try the NIVEA Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF50+ for 5 star protection from damaging UVA & UVB rays. 

UVB

UVB rays are far less common than UVA rays and only contribute to 5% of the sun's radiation. This doesn’t mean that they aren’t still damaging. UVB rays can cause sunburn and long-term effects such as skin damage and early ageing. 

The best way to protect against UVB damage is to use sunscreen with a high SPF factor. A sunscreen with SPF 30 will protect against 97% of UVB rays and SPF 50 will protect against 99%. Try the NIVEA Pocket Size Protect & Moisture Sun Lotion SPF30 to stay safe from UVB rays whilst on the go and also protect against UVA rays.

Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product. Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat.
