Ultraviolet Light
UV is a part of the sun light which we cannot see. When overexposed it is harmful for skin.

There are 3 types of UV rays.

UV A
UV B
UV C

UV rays cause:

• Tanning
• Skin burn
• Hyperpigmentation
• Skin ageing
• Skin cancers
• More exposure to UV stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin, to protect skin from
bad effects of UV.

OXIDATIVE DAMAGE AND FREE RADICAL

Oxygen is necessary for life, but it also has few bad effects on the skin.

Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable particles formed due to oxidation
(Metabolism) or exposure to toxins in environment (pollution) and UV rays. There are lots of
free radicals around us. These free radicals steal electrons from skin, hair, tissues to get
stabilized and thus damage them causing ageing.

AIR CONDITION

• Skin feel stretchy, flaky, and itchy.
• Due to cold and dry air in ac it gets dehydrated.

• Choice of incorrect cosmetic: One must choose correct cosmetic as per their skin. Use of
wrong cosmetic might harm skin or create new skin concerns. E.g., If oily skin client uses oily
products, they can start getting acne problem.
• Correct use of Cosmetic: All cosmetics must be used in correct protocol and quantity. Make
up cosmetics must be removed in time or before going to bed. If not can lead to skin
complaints.

ADDICTIONS

dilatation
• Tobacco on the other hand results in vasoconstrictions making skin look dull and
dark.

DRUGS/MEDICINES

effect on the skin.
E.g., Medicine Isotretinoin given for acne treatment can cause excessive dryness of the
skin.

UNDERLYING DISEASES

disease or disorder, it might affect skin.
