All About Sunscreen & Sun Protection
Why is it so important to protect ourselves from the sun all year round?
It has already been proven in numerous ways that ultraviolet rays have more harmful than beneficial effects on the human body: they increase the risk of malignant skin formation; accelerate the aging process; are often the cause of various allergic conditions. Many people are deluding that the lack of sun also means a lack of UV rays, and this is not the case. Just the intensity is weaker, but all the risks of negative consequences are present. The is actually a protective mechanism of the body against strong solar radiation and visible evidence of sun damage to the skin. It’s good to keep in mind that the brightest people are more prone to side effects of the sun.
What sunscreen should we provide for the body moles?
To spend your summer vacation calm, it is good at the end of spring to visit a dermatologist who will review your moles and assess whether there are those that require removal, observation or special care. If you are one of the people who have more moles, standing under an umbrella with a T-shirt or well-worn with a SPF50 would be the best for you.
If we have a recent scars (from deeper cuts, operations, etc.), how to protect them from the sun?
Scars are a natural result of skin healing processes after some kind of trauma. They require special care, as the skin in the area of the scar is more sensitive and vulnerable. It is therefore much easier for a fresh scar to pigment and become even more visible. Not to mention that, in addition to darker, you can also get a thicker scar due to its unintentional exposure to the sun. Best in general is not to expose the affected part of the body to the sun at all. If this is not possible, garment or bandage protection will be more effective than lubrication with a photo-protective product. If the scar is on the face, you will need to combine a hat, glasses and a lot, a lot of cream.
A pigment spots on the skin?
With the appearance of the first more intense sun rays, there is also an increase in pigmentation in the face among the predominantly women. Taking some medicines during the summer, such as contraceptives, antibiotics, and the use of inappropriate cosmetics may also lead to such an unpleasant pigmentation. Regardless of their type (solar, hormonal, due to inflammation, trauma, etc.). The whole deal with unpleasant pigmentation is difficult. That is why prevention remains the best tool. Sun protection cream with a high factor and a wide range of protection is mandatory at sea and in the mountains and when driving for a long time (as UV A rays pass through the glass). If you want to remove pigment spots, you can only do it with the latest laser techniques in the autumn when the skin is not exposed to sunlight and begins to brighten off the summer tan.
Tattoos require you to be protected with a lotion with a high SPF?
If the tattoo is old, that is, at least 3-4 months have elapsed since manufacture, it is not necessary to use the product with the highest factor. You protect it like the rest of the body. In cases where the tattoo is fresh or you have undergone laser removal procedures, a strict photo-protection is required. Summer is a season where not only tattoos are recommended, but also many other interventions because it is harder to heal on the skin, and frequent sweating and high temperature are good preconditions for inflammation and infections.
Is there a difference between cosmetic and medical sunscreen lotions?
There is certainly. Medical cosmetics have much more requirements with regard to its composition, safety and effectiveness. You can be sure that the protection on the packaging against the UV, A and B beams corresponds to the actual one in the product if used according to the standard instructions. Not to mention that all companies are making great efforts to make their products as hypoallergenic as possible in combination to be comfortable and enjoyable, which in principle is not an easy task. We recommend medical cosmetics, especially when it comes to children, people with sun allergy and very light skin that burns easily.
Do different parts of the body need a different degree of protection?
Generally there is no such division of degrees of protection by field. Rather, the choice of product is made with respect to consistency – creams and emulsions are more preferred for the face, and lotions, milks and oils – for the body.
How to protect children from the sun’s rays?
There are still many parents who do not know that it’s not a good idea to keep young children up to 2 years at sea and let them run naked on the sand. Generally, children up to this age should not be exposed directly to the sun and protected with hats, long sleeves and sunscreen especially adapted for them, based only on mineral filters. Childhood burns are the most dangerous and are one of the risk factors for the development of skin cancer, including melanoma, as well as eye damage after years.In addition, in the first 18 years of life, people take up much more ultraviolet rays than later periods as they spend more time outdoors.
