    mechanisms that protect skin and hair from UV radiation

    Photoprotection refers to the mechanisms and strategies that protect the skin and hair from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This includes natural processes like the production of melanin in the skin, as well as external measures such as using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade. For professionals, it encompasses both biological responses and preventive measures to mitigate UV-induced damage, which can lead to conditions like sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer.
