Most commercial brands of sunscreen may not protect you from a type of sunlight that causes wrinkles.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=04-File Tape;]
Scientists have discovered that "ultraviolet A" rays are responsible for many common forms of skin damage.
But most sunscreens do not protect against that form of solar radiation.
The sunlight causes a natural molecule on the skin's surface to oxidize and that speeds up the skin's aging process.
But researchers say Ultraviolet "A" can be blocked by sunscreens that contain zinc oxide.
