Abstract

Artificial sun protection is used to protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet radiation. It includes sunscreens, clothing, hats, sunglasses, and physical barriers between the skin and the sun. This chapter will focus primarily on the use of sunscreens, practical applications, potential dangers, environmental issues, and the usefulness of SPF (sun protection factor) as a quantifiable endpoint in preventing UVR-induced skin damage.
