Sun protection table of each type of sunscreen according to UV wavelength

The importance of protecting against both UVA and UVB: UVA causes wrinkles. The aging process of the skin (accelerated skin aging) UVB causes skin burns. Therefore, it is necessary to protect both UVA and UVB at the same time.
