Invisible sun damage
Ultraviolet exposure is contact with UV radiation, whether from sunlight or artificial sources like tanning beds.
The term appears most often in health contexts, where excessive ultraviolet exposure causes sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer: Limit your ultraviolet exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
