Abstract：The solar spectrum reaching the surface of the earth includes ultraviolet radiation,visible light and infrared radiation.Until recently,visible light has been regarded to have no photobiologic effect on human health.Nowadays,however,various biologic effects have been showed to be induced by visible light including erythema,pigmentation and photoaging.As a consequence,attempts should be made to protect skin against visible light.However,most sunscreen products are mainly focused on ultraviolet radiation with less protective effect for visible light.In order to offer clues for photoprotection of solar,we briefly review the researches about the skin damage and the possible pathogenesis,related disorders and photoprotection of visible light.
