We must talk about prevention when enjoying the sun. Do not miss their tips if you want to get the maximum benefit for your health, but also avoid possible damage from the sun on your skin.
Beware … cloudy days solar radiation is capable of transferring 40% of the clouds and if you’re not careful and do not protect yourself you may end up burnt on a cloudy day. Clouds can be dangerous because they create a magnifying effect with the sun, which further affects the skin. We must distinguish between cloudy day or with low or high clouds. If the clouds are very high the sun burns more, in fact if the clouds are cirrus, 95% of solar radiation passes through them.
And with the terraces. Surely you feel like ‘open’ (if you have not already), the ‘season terraces’, particularly after a winter as hard as this year. Be careful because solar radiation also damages in the cities. We recommend the use of creams with sun protection factor or direct the use of sunscreens throughout the year, wherever we are.
The Mediterranean is not the Caribbean. Many people come to consult your dermatologist burns in exotic places and say they’ve used sunscreen. The problem is that the sun does not fall in the same way in all parts of the Earth, the closer the Earth’s sun radiation are worse, so the large burns occurring in the mountain. But it must take into account factors such as the color of water and sand. In places where crystal clear waters and white sand, the sun is more dangerous because their impact is reflected and multiplied.
Driving without protection: protection should be made while driving. Many burns are caused by driving for a long time to face the sun. The glass of the car makes a very dangerous magnifying effect.
Do not use the proper sunscreen or do so sparingly: you must be familiar with the phototype of our skin and know what kind of protection we use, also depend on the degree of photoaging skin. If our solar capital is exhausted – some signs are the presence of wrinkles and spots on face neck and hands, you can use a very high protection. And it’s important to use enough cream and replace it at least every two hours.
