The sun's natural
rays give warmth, visible light and ultraviolet light. In regard
to their effect on the skin, the UV spectrum is subdivided into
the UV-A, UV-B and UV-C segments. The longer UV-A wave are
gentle to the skin, even at higher concentrations, and tan the
pigments just beneath the surface of the skin. Light in the UV-B
range is what initiates the formation of pigment, but it can
also cause sunburn. The atmosphere shields us against the UV-C
rays, which as a result do not reach the earth's surface.

The UV-A light of the sun is very slow in causing a tan.
Only at intensities higher than those of natural sunlight is
UV-A able to tan the skin more quickly, by means of so-called
direct pigmentation of the pigments already present in the skin.
Nowhere on earth the sun can supply UV-A radiation at this level
without an accordingly high share of UV-B. Only a
high-performance unit with a costly filter and cooling system
can generate this level of UV output: The Dr. Kern UVA HT 420.
