The Facts on UV Radiation

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer. UV rays from the sun and tanning beds damage skin cell DNA, leading to mutations that can cause cancer and premature aging. UVA rays age the skin, while UVB rays burn it—both increase cancer risk.

Most skin cancers are linked to UV exposure, and the damage is cumulative. Even if your body repairs some of it, unrepaired DNA damage builds up over time and may lead to tumors.

Protecting yourself is simple: wear sunscreen, avoid tanning beds, cover up, and seek shade. You can also reduce UV exposure indoors and in your car with UV-blocking window tinting from All Glass Tint. Their high-quality tints block harmful UVA and UVB rays, protecting your skin and eyes while helping to prevent long-term damage.

Taking small steps today can significantly reduce your risk tomorrow.
