Even though is nice to go outside, sun light can be very dangerous for the cutaneous barrier of the skin. Sadly, the effects of UVA have been less studied and characterised than UVB. That’s why, in this study, we’re interested in highlighting the effects of UVA exposure in skin mechanical properties.
