Answer to the Burning Questionf |
As any one-time sun-sufferer will tell you, sunburn is certainly
evidence of your place in the sun—an extremely painful place. For
the invisible, but ever-present and piercing ultraviolet rays of the
sun each year inflict more misery •
uc and enjoy1
happier, more healthful living
on more people than perhaps any
other device of nature.
The sun's rays, those you can
see and, more important, those
you can't see, are of different
wave lengths. For example, the
rays that determine how hot you
are when exposed to the sun —
infrared rays—are relatively long
—and harmless. It is the short
ultraviolet rays, which you can-
not see, whicii do the damage.
When these ultraviolet rays
strike your skin, they do not pen-
etrate in depth but they do play
havoc with the cells just under-
neath the outer layer of skin.
The longer you are exposed to
these rays of the sun, the more
the living cells that are damaged
— and the redder your skin
becomes.
You can help prevert painful
damage of ultraviolet rays hy us-
ing a good screening agent. One
such preparation is Sun V Surf,
a new two-purpose sunburn
cream. It can help you overcome
over-exposure to the sun by
screening out a high percentage
of the short, trouble-causing ul-
traviolet rays while allowing the
long rays to get through and pro-
mote tanning. And if you do for-
get to apply it while out in the
sun, you can get rapid relief from
sunburn pain by using Sun V
Surf after being exposed. j
One answer to the burning ques-
tion is Sun 'n' Snrf Sunburn
Cream, being applied by Carol
Leigh, slar of the Broadway mn. ,
ticul hit, "By the Beautiful Sea."
