Ashley: Skin protection is necessary all year long. Hi! Welcome to Watchmojo.com, I am your host, Ashley, and today, I am going to find out my sun protection profile. I'll give you guys some safe sun tips on how to reduce skin damage. So what is UV rays?
Marie-Josée Pepin: We are talking here about the UVA and UVB. The UVA is more common for aging the skin. The UVB is the more powerful ray. This is the ray that causes also the burn, the sunburns, and it could cause also skin cancer.
Ashley: What does the UV index exactly mean?
Marie-Josée Pepin: The UV index, those from 0 until 10. For example, if the UV is at up to 8 today, you are going to have to get some protection at least FPS 30.
Ashley: What are the best methods to practice safe sun?
Marie-Josée Pepin: Very simple! Wear a hat, sunglasses and you also have to get the good cream for your type of skin.
Ashley: So can you tell us a little bit about how the UV camera works?
Marie-Josée Pepin: Yeah, we only take a picture. We have a better idea what is the damage caused to your skin, with all of the years.
Ashley: Let's go, try.
Marie-Josée Pepin: Yes, good! First, I have to get your skin type. Okay, so you are very blonde?
Ashley: No, very dark.
Marie-Josée Pepin: Very dark. And do you tanned well?
Ashley: Yes.
Marie-Josée Pepin: Yes. Okay. So did you burn first? No, you don't burn first. Okay, so I am going to calibrate the machine. Okay, so this is calibrated now. Okay, 1, 2, 3, go! Voila! And that's over. We'll get your result in about 45 seconds or 1 minute.
We can see some damage right on the nose, over here and on the cheek too. Near the lips, it's darker too, so we can see the damage caused in the past with the sun. So two millimeter under your skin, we can see that. This convinces people, at least, to wear a hat, sunglasses and you also have to get the good cream for your type of skin. The skin damage is there but you can stop it with all of this prevention.
