Sun Care

The skin is the main organ of the human body that is directly in contact with the outside world.
The skin protects us from external agents and defends us from some internal residues.
That is why we must be aware and protect it to avoid damages that are often irreparable.
Inadequate sunbathing has very high risks for the skin. Most skin cancer diagnoses are due to irresponsible sun exposure during childhood and youth. This is why it is essential to raise awareness and promote skin care from an early age.
It is curious, but there is data confirming that around 80% of the population considers that they are only exposed to the sun during vacations and weekends.

SKIN CANCER

Some useful tips

01

Visit your dermatologist at least once a year for a thorough check-up.

02

In the case of children, use a special protection cream, since their skin is not the same as that of adults and needs more care.

03

Blondes, redheads or freckled people have more sensitive skin so more care is recommended.

04

Sunscreen should be applied constantly to all exposed parts of the body (face, neck, hands, legs, etc.), since protection is only for a time.

05

You can get burned, even if you don’t feel heat! UV radiation is the one that really burns and is not always felt as it is absorbed by the first layers of the skin.

06

WARNING! The effects on the skin accumulate. The skin has a memory and over the years, the body’s ability to repair damage diminishes.
