Rules for staying in the sun
Summer is a favorite time of the year for many Russians. We were all looking forward to the warmth and actively spending time on the beach. But to stay in the sun does not result in trouble, you need to tan properly.
Rule # 1. Sunscreen - for everyone, everywhere and always! Especially for people with light skin. The cream should be applied 15-20 minutes before going out in the sun and choose according to the type of skin. It is advisable to update the cream after bathing. You can choose a water-resistant cream, as you can burn while in the water.
Rule # 2. Sunbathe until 11.00 and after 15.00. At this time, ultraviolet radiation is least active and there is a lower risk of skin damage.
Rule # 3. If you went to a resort, then the intensity of sun exposure should be increased gradually to help the skin adapt to the "sun baths". Also on the beach, it is advisable to be under an umbrella or cover the body with light light clothing.
Rule # 4. If there is pigmentation on the body or a lot of moles, it is better to consult a dermatologist first. Such people are usually contraindicated to sunbathe.
Rule # 5. Redness, peeling of the skin, pain-signs of sunburn. In this case, you should immediately stop tanning and use the means recommended for the treatment of burns. And the appearance or exacerbation of pigmentation is a reason to consult a doctor.
The sun is necessary for our body. It promotes the natural production of vitamin D, a deficiency of which leads to osteoporosis, sweating, sleep disorders, and also negatively affects the psychoemotional state of a person. But to produce the necessary amount of vitamin D, it is enough to be in the sun without cream only 3 times a week for 15 minutes.
Lipetsk Regional Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention reminds: prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment can cause precancerous and cancerous skin diseases! Be careful and careful!
