The head of the consulting department of the Moscow Center for Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology of the Moscow Ministry of Health, dermatovenerologist Lyudmila Anokhina, spoke about the dangers of the spring sun. This has been reported DEA Novosti.
“Many people think that the spring sun is too weak and harmless, so they neglect simple precautions. Yes, it is not yet as active as in summer and it is quite difficult to get a serious skin burn on our strip. But do not forget about the hidden threats that UV radiation poses to our body, including the skin. ” said.
According to the expert, any amount of ultraviolet leads to premature skin aging and the appearance of pigmentation. In some cases, it can contribute to the appearance of malignant skin diseases.
Therefore, from early spring to mid-autumn, you need to use skin care products with SPF. The lighter the skin, the higher the protection factor required. It is recommended to apply the cream to all exposed areas of the skin 30 minutes before going outside, even on cloudy days.
My colleague Anokhina, doctor Irina Vonsorovskaya warned of the dangers of the solarium. According to him, “artificial sun” is no less harmful to the skin, and its consequences can be more serious than direct sun exposure.
Roman Vilfand, Former Scientific Director of the Hydrometeorology Center saidwhen the sun begins to emit dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation.
