Some people try to follow the advice of dermatologists, who use sunscreen before sun exposure, especially in summer, and try to color, but to use sunscreen there are certain conditions, do we observe are they right?
A British study found that more than a million Britons use sunscreen over a decade of age, despite the majority remaining effective between six months and two years.
According to a study conducted by King Edward VII Hospital in London, sunbaters have an arrogant attitude towards sun protection in general.
In a survey of more than 2,000 adults, 9 percent admitted they only wear sunscreen when on summer vacation, while 5 percent mistakenly believe they don’t need to wear sunscreen.
Consultant dermatologist Dr. Catherine: Borisevich: “Sun protection is important, whether you’re in the UK or abroad, and regardless of your skin color.”
“It’s also important to buy new sunscreen every year, because creams expire and become less effective,” she says.
Social media perfection is a troubling factor, with 17 percent of study participants admitting they felt pressure from influencers and celebrities to tan, and nearly a quarter also agreed that they are not.
And the search for sunny skin poses a serious risk for Brits, according to the study, with 29 per cent of them admitting to using a sunbed in the past.
And one in ten try harmful tanning products to darken their skin, using them as either an injection or nasal spray.
These products work by cloning alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in the body, experts say, and by stimulating the production of the pigment melanin in epidermal cells.
“The use of tanning beds has been linked to serious diseases such as kidney failure and skin cancer,” said Dr. Borisevich.
According to the study, 11 percent of participants agreed that they were willing to risk skin cancer if it meant getting a tan.
“It’s very disturbing to see how far people can go just to color their skin,” added Dr. Borisevich.
