Summer is synonymous with sun, but what we know about the sun? The sun is the closest star to us. It is essential for life, for growth of plants, animals and men, but its radiation can have a harmful effect on the body, especially in the skin.

The Earth receives only a small part of this radiation as different layers of the atmosphere stops most harmful radiation to humans. The ozone layer is located at 25km altitude in the stratosphere, is an essential ecological barrier for the Earth, absorbing very efficiently gamma rays, X rays and UVC.

The energy that reaches the earth consists of:

* Infrared rays, responsible for the sensation of heat.
* Visible light is composed of seven colors of the rainbow (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red).
* Ultraviolet (UVA and UVB), invisible to the human eye and higher energy than visible light.

Each of these components of energy is also responsible for adverse effects such as dehydration or heat stroke (infrared rays), skin aging (visible light), skin cancers (UV) or sunburn (UVB rays).

To protect our skin, we must know our skin type, since we are all equal before the sun. Everything depends on your skin type, which is defined by skin color, hair color, sunburn tendency and ability to tan. These features are genetically programmed.

But we must also take into account the conditions of sun exposure. In addition, sometimes the skin may have a heightened sensitivity to the sun regardless of skin type, because it has suffered repeated attacks (weather, cosmetics, and drugs) or because they react to stimuli that would not react normal skin (allergy) and may even become intolerant to the sun.

Contrary to what one might think, misses a cloudy sky UVA and UVB rays. Only stops the infrared, so do not feel warm feeling but we can burn. Also, we often forget that the visible light and ultraviolet rays from the sun can reach human skin also indirectly, by reflecting on various surfaces: about 20% water, about 10% grass in the snow for 85 % sand and 15 to 25%.

So it will be convenient to follow a series of key recommendations from the sun and especially in children advises Dr. Miguel Gonzalez Nebreda, general dermatologist and skin cancer prevention.

Skin care of the child:

* Do not expose to the sun for a child less than 3 years.
* No sun exposure between 12 am and 16h.
* Remember to protect the child t-shirt, hat and sunglasses, plus sun protection.
* Use appropriate protection to the skin type of children: resistant to water, sand and a high tolerance.
* Apply the solar product 30 minutes before going outside.
* Re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours and after swimming.
* Insist on all the back, face, nose, ears and neck.
* Protect your child into all activities in the sun.
* It is necessary to drink water regularly, because the solar radiation dehydrates the body.

Skin care adult acne especially if you have:

* Acne is a condition that usually occurs in adolescents, young adults and a small percentage of people over 30 years. Sometimes, the aesthetic effects are important, since the lesions appear mainly on face, chest and back affecting the adolescent self-esteem at a critical point of development that is taking hold their personality, and can be accompanied by psychological effects as they feel that its image is distorted.
* Acne is a curable disease and the patient should see a dermatologist before the onset of sequelae, if possible.
* A good doctor-patient relationship is therefore critical to ensure appropriate handling, being essential to gain the confidence of the patient, in addition to offering medical and psychological support.
* It should be explained in detail to the patient the nature of your acne, tell him it’s a resolute autoimmune disease that may require treatment to a greater or lesser extent for several years.
* It is very important to a proper clinical trial to determine the causes of the process, going after the application of appropriate treatment in each case.
* Facial hygiene is very important, but not abuse, just morning and night, and otherwise unprotected skin and can cause a rebound effect with a consequent increase of sebum while dehydration of the skin.
* Prohibit manipulation of the lesions to avoid possible scarring.
* We must use appropriate cosmetic skin such increased seborrhea usually using oil free products or free of fat both moisturizing, protective, shaving lotions or cosmetics, otherwise worsen acne.
* Currently there are many oil-free products on the market that can be applied without prejudice.
* Avoid contact of the hair on the forehead and cheeks, or any type of occlusion of the affected areas because we could make acne worse.

The intrinsic aging or hereditary

Intrinsic aging is also known as chronological aging. Our skin changes at puberty and continues to change. The signs of intrinsic aging are most notable:

Changes in skin

As time passes after adolescence the skin begins to become more and drier. This is due to hormonal changes. When approaching menopause dryness increases. For this reason most hydrating creams are used as time passes and you can consume more omega3.

Dryness may also be caused by the lack of fat in the diet but this is not common.

Wrinkles, lines and sagging

This is mainly due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin. As time passes the skin loses the ability to regenerate as fast as it does when we are young.
Large pores

But has been careful skin pores gradually get bigger and if there is genetic predisposition more open.

External or extrinsic aging

The external aging is also known as aging caused by the environment.

This type of aging is due to a large extent the damage caused by the sun on the skin.

The most common signs of external aging are:

Changes in skin texture

Sun exposure damages the skin by putting harsher. Sun damage promotes free radicals that destroy collagen and elastin.

Stains

Excessive wrinkles

Although wrinkles are inevitable can be delayed and its excess may be due to external factors such as smoking, poor diet, excessive sun exposure and lack of care for the skin. All these factors are beyond our control.

Sagging skin

The villain of the sun is again part of the blame. The sun’s rays damage the skin structure. This is visible in special machines which can be seen as the skin becomes thinner and less elastin. Elastin is necessary to keep the skin firm and elastic. With age, levels off but the low sun even more.

Tips

It is never too late or too early to start caring for the skin. Above all, protect it from sun and use a moisturizer after 25. Do not smoke and follow a healthy lifestyle.

That’s why we say ‘the skin has a memory’, and we eventually take its toll: it decreases the elasticity, texture, becomes opaque, and spots appear all this makes us look ‘older’ than our actual age. ”

The preventive strategy focuses on the major modifiable risk factor, exposure to the sun to reduce it through proper and adequate photoprotection. Photoprotection can be defined as the set of measures which limit the cumulative skin damage induced by solar radiation. If you go to the beach or you are exposed to the sun any circumstances, do not forget sunscreen put you 15 minutes before, and replace it every three hours, at least in the most exposed areas.

It is important to take care of children as it is known that young children are exposed to the sun three times more than adults and it is estimated that between 50 to 80% of solar exposure time in the life of a person occurs before to reach 18.

Too much sun and obsolescence of protective creams in adulthood lead to increased wrinkles and a weakening of the skin in old age, making it more sensitive and increases the risk to suffer from skin diseases. In these circumstances, the Spanish Academy of Dermatology has warned that the aging of the skin is an issue that deserves the attention of those affected, their families and health authorities.

How other body organs, skin, over time, it ages and deteriorates. The elderly should take extra care as wrinkles and dryness make it more sensitive and increases the likelihood of sunburn.

Environmental changes in temperature cause more dry skin. Therefore, especially the elderly have to keep hydrated and protected from these changes and ultraviolet rays. The areas most photo exposed are neck and face, and that is where we must exercise extreme care.

According to the Spanish Academy of Dermatology (AEDV), special moisturizers for each area of the body are essential for the elderly regardless of having it or not in bad shape as it is necessary to wear clothing and footwear appropriate to the changing climate.

The more continuous use of medication during this stage of life makes manifest in some skin intolerance reactions, etc…

The AEDV recommends that seniors attend at least once a year to a dermatologist if the patient does not suffer serious skin lesions and tumor, or badly damaged skin from the sun. In this case, the visits should be scheduled at least every 6 months.

In cases where the patient has limited mobility because of age, illness or having to spend much time in bed is likely to be difficult to heal ulcers, so the easiest thing is that the caregiver take care to avoid friction and pressure on areas affected by changing his position every two or three hours.

Prevention during adulthood affects the skin condition in old age, and even taking care is difficult to maintain a completely healthy skin. Thanks to the media the population is becoming more aware of the risk experienced by the skin and consults your dermatologist when they see a risk factor, such as increased size of a mole or redness of it.

Dermatology recommends:

The elders use moisturizers specifically for each area of the body.

Those responsible for the care of elderly with limited movement must change position every 2 or 3 hours to prevent ulcers.

Sensitive skin is one of the most common skin type affects all women (and men) at some point in their lives, and especially those found in pre-menopausal. First you say that you need to know your skin type (sensitive, dry, oily) and also check carefully mind that all the products you normally use are appropriate for your skin type.

If you want to know if many of the complaints or problems you suffer, correspond to this case, I commented that recognition (sensitive skin) is quite easy as it manifests:

Itching, peeling, grain, burning and swelling are some of the symptoms that indicate an imbalance in the defense of the epidermis.

In healthy skin, the defense cells to detect and neutralize the offending agent no consequence. But on sensitive skin its react disproportionately defensive cells, causing a series of reactions that are then translated into irritation, discomfort, etc.

The horny layer of the skin, the surface that protects us from external aggression and this does nothing to defend if you have sensitive skin. Moreover, the problem is that this barrier is somewhat worn, peeling, dry and unable to defend itself properly.
