[Nettavisen] Summer is here, and the sun peeks ahead. Many will perhaps also on tropical vacation to warmer climes, and now it is important to ensure their skin.
The sun’s rays can be harmful, both in terms of skin cancer and skin cosmetic condition.
The sun creates free radicals in the skin, including can break down collagen and cause premature aging. Much sun can also cause age spots.
Light, Nordic skin is especially susceptible to premature aging and skin cancer, since our skin naturally consists of weaker melanin than darker skin.
Remember that if you want a healthy glow, there are other ways one can acquire this. Including using self-tanning or bronzing powder.
Here are some things you should know about tanning:
1. Do not take a solarium before the holiday in order to get “basis”
Are you one of those who take the sun before tropical trip to lay a good “sun-basis”? Then you may do yourself a disservice.
– It provides little protection to the solarium just before traveling to sunny countries, says special adviser at the Norwegian Cancer Society, Mona Stensrud, to Side2.
According to NRPA is the radiation from solariums different than from the sun. There are significant differences to bask in the solarium and the natural sun, writes radiation protection on their websites.
– Because it’s much more UVA than UVB rays in solarium, it provides primarily tan, but little hardening of the skin. If you take solarium first, and then go on holiday in the sun, you get the also “double dose” intense solar radiation, which in itself helps to increase the risk of skin cancer, explains Stensrud.
A foundation will nevertheless not provide more protection than any equivalent to about SPF two.
2. Use sunscreen even if you do not “soak up”
The sun’s rays reach you whether you’re located and steaks you or not. Especially in the summer months, but time throughout the year, you should use sunscreen on exposed areas when you are out.
Dermatologist Michael Zangani at Rikshospitalet and Skin and Acne clinic pronounce that Norwegians often gets sunburnt when doing outdoor activities, like playing football or playing with the kids, and where we think that we do not “bask”. But rays reach us anyway.
3. Remember sunscreen in Norway also
A survey conducted for the Cancer Society shows that Norwegians are more concerned to protect themselves from the sun while on the tropical vacation than when they are out in the sun in Norway.
Two out of five experience being sunburnt in Norway and it is men who are sløvest, especially those under 30 years.
Are you exposed skin for large amounts of sun, and you are not protected, this could have negative consequences for both skin and health.
– You can say that we have received a kind of “punch” for how much sun exposure we can endure, and this “punch card” individually on the basis of what skin type we have. It is therefore important to protect your skin as early as possible and not exposing themselves to sunburn. Many probably think that “Now the train is gone because I’ve burned me so many times anyway,” but this is not so. It’s never too late to protect themselves against the sun’s strong rays, says says Commercial Director of L’Oréal, Marianne Kampli to Side2.
4. Antioxidants help the skin
L-ascorbic acid is found naturally in your own skin to protect skin cells. By sun exposure “sacrificed” L-ascorbic acid to protect the skin, but these stockpiles emptied quickly. Therefore, it is important to provide skin antioxidants vitamin C both dietary and by means of a C-serum for maximum protection against UV rays.
Antioxidants also protects against oxygen free radicals generated in the skin by exposure to sunlight . Antioxidants should preferably get in through the fresh produce, and they can also lubricate the skin.
5. Butter enough!
Dermatologists recommend SPF 30-50, but if you do not lubricate enough and goes solar factor down. It is a common mistake is to lubricate enough so that one does not achieve the factor that stands on the bottle. In addition lubricates people often rare.
Bookmarks:
1 teaspoon for the face / neck
1 teaspoon for each arm
2 teaspoons for torso
2 teaspoons for each leg
In addition lubricates people often rare.
6. Children are more vulnerable to sun damage
Zangani at Rikshospitalet has list previous told that surveys show that 12 percent of Norwegians do not use sunscreen when sunbathing. And the use of sunscreen for children is also reduced. 5 percent of those surveyed do not protect children in the south.
Michael Zangani find it shocking that some parents choose not to protect their children against the potentially harmful rays on tropical vacation.
– Had If it were up to me, I had reported these to the CPS, he said.
Children are more vulnerable to sun damage than adults, and it is important that these are protected with sunscreen, but also shade, hat, clothes and sunglasses. In addition, one should always take a solpause the middle of the day if you spend a day out in the sun with children.
7. Do not sunbathe intensive
It is understandable that many are ‘sunbathers’ after a long winter, but you would do well to not sunbathe intensely so many Norwegians often does in summer.
“Intense sun exposure for short periods, such as holidays and weekends, can be harmful. One gets too much UV rays on the skin affected pigment cells and it is believed that the energy of the rays damage DNA molecules (genetic material) in the skin cells. Those who have light skin and red or blonde hair are more susceptible. A high number of moles is also a risk factor. “
