UVA
UVA rays are a type of ultraviolet radiation that make up 95% of the UV light reaching the Earth’s surface. Unlike UVB, UVA penetrates deeply into the dermis, where it damages collagen, elastin, and skin structure, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation. In AgeBiome™ rituals, UVA defense is critical to protecting the DEJ and preserving long-term skin regeneration.
Why It’s Used:
- Penetrates deeper than UVB and causes dermal breakdown
- Triggers premature aging, pigmentation, and dullness
- Weakens collagen fibers and skin elasticity over time
- Can pass through windows and affect skin even on cloudy days
- Requires daily antioxidant support and broad-spectrum SPF
- Key contributor to photoaging and DEJ deterioration
What It Means for You:
UVA is the silent ager—it doesn’t burn your skin but breaks it down over time. Protecting against it helps your skin stay firmer, clearer, and younger longer.
