UVA radiation is the most damaging type of light to your skin, and it can cause wrinkles, age spots, and other skin problems. If you're concerned about the effects of UVA radiation on your skin, you may want to consider using a sunscreen with a higher SPF (sun protection factor) than the standard. Here are some of our favorites with an SPF of at least 80.
