Altiora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa Asks: Do You Know About the UV Index?
You might have heard of the UV index, but never really paid attention to it. Perhaps you have never learned what the UV Index means to you and your skin. The Ultraviolet (UV) Index predicts the ultraviolet radiation levels on a 1-11+ scale. You can find these numbers on any day, on the Weather Network or other Weather Forecasting Aps for your phone.

that higher the number is, the faster you will burn or attract skin damage. This happens, even if the temperature does not seem to “feel” that hot to you.
Any reading above a five on the UV Index means a high risk of damage to your skin from the UV Rays of our beautiful Orlando Sun.
For Example: On a given day, the UV Index is predicted to climb to a level of 9.6. The Weather Network shows you an hour by hour report of the worst hours to be out in the sun without protection.
If you don’t have time to check an AP, here’s a great rule to remember, from the pages of Glamour Magazine: “Look at your shadow. Is it shorter than you are? Then the rays are strong and you are more likely to burn. Cover up or find the shade.”

The scientists concluded, using research and mathematical calculations,“UV rays accounted for 80 per cent of skin ageing.” This study especially focused on skin wrinkles and their relationship to the UV rays of the sun.
2. Shocking Result of the Research: So, how much damage is just a little sun exposure capable of inflicting?
The new studies prove that a two per cent increase in skin damage from the sun can age a face by three years.
3. Wrinkles are not the only price your skin pays if you keep it in the sun for long-term UV exposures. We have long know you can also
blame the sun for your “pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity and a degradation of skin texture, including yellowing.”
4. How old can the sun make you look? They also found that women with 80 per cent damage look their age. If you have 82 per cent damage, you look about three years older.

So, we join other concerned skincare experts all over the world by asking you to slather all your exposed skin generously with your favorite sunscreen, and remember to reapply it often.
