UV Sun Exposure Damages Hair and Skin; Protective Sprays and Serums Recommended
Intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation can weaken hair structure, dry out strands, cause colour fading, and even lead to premature greying, especially for fine, light‑coloured or chemically treated hair. Dermatologists advise limiting midday sun exposure, using UV‑protective hair sprays, leave‑in conditioners with sun filters, and wearing hats or caps when outdoors.
Similarly, UV rays accelerate skin ageing and increase the risk of sunburn. New lightweight serum‑type sunscreens, such as Annemarie Börlind’s anti‑aging sun‑protection drops with SPF 30, combine moisturising care with sun protection, offering a non‑greasy alternative to traditional creams. Applying these products before sun exposure helps protect both skin and hair from UV‑induced damage.
