The skin is the largest organ of the body and protects us from a variety of external aggressors, such as UV rays, pollution and harmful microorganisms.
Sun exposure during the spring and summer months is much more intense than we imagine. It should be noted that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is able to reflect (off water, sand and other surfaces) and pass through fabrics.
Sun exposure has a positive effect on our mood, helps in the synthesis of vitamin D in our skin and can even help in the treatment of some skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis.
Although in theory sunscreens could decrease the production of vitamin D in our skin, in practice it has been seen that this does not happen, probably in part because almost no one applies them in the right amounts and at the right intervals.
A photoprotector is a cosmetic product prepared for application to the epidermis to protect us from radiation. The most important element of a sunscreen is its sunscreen.
Both UVB and UVR are implicated in skin cancer. Most of the harmful effects on the skin are caused by UVR.
To protect us from the sun we will use clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Sunscreens should not be an excuse to increase sun exposure.
Oral photoprotection complements other known measures. Although some time ago it seemed to be intended for certain groups of patients (skin cancer, very light phototypes, photosensitive diseases…), today we believe that they benefit the population as a whole and their use has become more popular.
The sun helps us synthesize vitamin D (essential for our bones), is fundamental in the regulation of the circadian sleep-wake rhythm and has other biological and psychological functions essential for the proper functioning of our body. However, “the sun has a double face because when ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is too high it is dangerous to health.
The two most frequent types of spots that appear in both women and men after sun exposure: solar lentigines and melasma, also called chloasma.
