hi everyone, I've been hearing considerably about the dangers of ultraviolet (uv) light exposure lately, specially in relation to skin cancer. Can anyone shed any light on whether Uv light can actually lead to cancer?

Hey Customer a, that's a really good question. Uv light, particularly Uv radiation from the sun, is a leading risk factor for skin cancer. When your skin is exposed to Uv radiation, it can harm the Dna in your skin cells, causing mutations that can eventually result in skin cancer.

It's significant to remark that while sunlight is a natural source of Uv radiation, artificial sources like tanning beds and lamps on top emit Uv radiation and can boost the risk of skin cancer. That's why it's crucial to protect your skin by wearing sunscreen, seeking shadow, and avoiding indoor tanning.
