SUN DAMAGED
SKIN

The sun can be a danger whatever your skin type, but damaged or healing skin is especially vulnerable to the effects of UV. Damaged skin can be at increased risk due to pre-existing skin conditions such as eczema, acne or rosacea, or due to interventions such as aesthetic treatments (laser, peels) or even tattoos. Why is damaged skin so vulnerable under the sun? When the skin is healing, it is “laid bare” and more susceptible to damage from UV rays. It is also prone to unsightly dark marks called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

كيف يمكنني حماية بشرتي من أشعة الشمس؟

ما عامل الحماية من أشعة الشمس (SPF)؟

SPF اختصار يعني "الحماية من أشعة الشمس". يرتبط بقدرة الواقي من أشعة الشمس على حماية البشرة من أشعة UVB التي تسبب الحروق. كلما زاد الرقم، زادت الحماية. عند التواجد في أشعة الشمس، يوصى باستعمال عامل حماية SPF 30 على الأقل كل ساعتين. يُتطلب استعمال كمية بحجم كرة الجولف على الجسم بالكامل.

هل يساعد بخاخ التسمير في الحماية من الشمس؟

بالطبع لا! يتفاعل بخاخ التسمير مع الخلايا الميتة على سطح البشرة "لصبغ" البشرة. وليس لذلك علاقة من أي نوع بدفاعات البشرة ضد الشمس. بخاخ التسمير أكثر أمانًا من التسمير التقليدي، لكن يجب متابعة حماية بشترك من الشمس بعد استخدام بخاخ التسمير باستخدام واقٍ من أشعة الشمس UVA-UVB ذات نطاق واسع.
