All the sun's rays penetrate water, but each color penetrates to a different depth. The colors at the upper end of the light spectrum, especially the UV (ultraviolet) that causes tanning, penetrate deepest. The UV portion of the sun's light can penetrate into clear water for a hundred feet or more at midday. The safest way to avoid overexposure is to remember that if you can see the sunlight, it may cause sunburn, and to limit exposure accordingly or perhaps wear a T-shirt or wet-suit.

But what you may not know is that a lot happens under the layers of your skin when you are out in the sun , unprotected. And these are the reasons, why every skincare expert advises you to never skip your sunscreen, before stepping out in the sun.

What happens when gamma rays hit the ground or dirt?
Gamma rays hitting the ground will penetrate to some degree as well as being scattered. Gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic rays, or high frequency photons. They will be scattered and absorbed by the ground, but some will penetrate to a given extent. Gamma rays come in different energies (different frequencies or wavelengths), and the higher energy ones (higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths) will penetrate more. Additionally, the components in soil will help determine how much absorption will be taking place per unit of distance through which penetration occurs. Scattering will occur throughout the soil being irradiated. Scattering is the "de-energizing" of the photons as they interact with the material they move through. Note that a gamma ray can scatter and lose some energy and move onward at lower energy. The scattering and absorption will occur when gamma rays penetrate dirt.

What dose uvb stand for?
UVA rays are constantly present, no matter the season or the weather. If you think you can't get sun damage on a cloudy day, tell that to the UVA rays. They are so powerful that they also penetrate some clothing and even glass. (When was the last time you applied sunscreen before getting behind the wheel?)UVA rays used to be considered relatively safe, in terms of the sun's rays, and that's why tanning beds, which use UVA rays, took center stage. But we now know that using tanning beds before the age of 30 can actually increase your risk of skin cancer by 75%!Also UVA rays are the rays responsible for the signs of aging because they are able to penetrate much deeper into the surface of the skin, damaging the cells beneath.While people think their skin looks younger because it's tan, the reality each, each tan is giving your skin irreversible damage, and you will see it's damage later in life.When you think of UVA rays, think sun spots, leathery skin and wrinkles.UVB RaysUVB Rays are the rays you can blame when you get a sunburn.

What is worse for you tanning in a tanning bed or in the sun?
This question has really several different parts to it. My question for you is where are you tanning? Because some parts of the earth are exposed to higher levels of sunlight. The higher the altitude the more you can get burnt because you are closer to the sun as well. Tanning beds expose you to different UV rays than normal sunlight so it all depends on the duration of time that you spend in the sun or the tanning bed. If you plan to tan outside instead of tanning indoors, check out different tanning lotions. Tanning lotions can make the whole difference between whether its better for you to tan indoors or outdoors. Some lotions block harmful UV rays while others allow UV rays to penetrate your skin so the melanin in your skin reacts. The reaction of your melanin will cause you to tan. To see a full review that may help you determine which tanning lotion is right for you go to my website. This may help you make that determination so whichever you prefer, outside or indoors, you can be properly protected. Tanning in a tanning bed is worse because you are closer to the uv rays and they can damage you more easily.
