A recent Australian study has shown that prolonged exposure to UV radiation, even at low levels that do not cause skin redness or burns, may lead to damage to the DNA of skin cells, indicating that repeated exposure to UV radiation may result in cumulative damage over time.
Sunlight doesn't necessarily cause redness or sunburn to damage the skin. New research has revealed that even low levels of UV rays can cause DNA damage in skin cells and contribute to an increased risk of skin cancer in the long term.
Research conducted in Australia has revealed that even low-intensity sunlight that doesn't cause skin redness can damage DNA. Researchers noted that the effect on the skin is linked to the total UV dose.
A new study conducted in Australia has shown that mild sunlight can cause DNA damage and increase cancer risk, even without causing skin redness. The study, involving approximately 60 volunteers, determined that the determining factor for the damage was not the sun's immediate intensity but the total UV dose.
