كيف يمكنني حماية وجهي من أشعة الشمس؟

لتجنب علامات تقدم السن المبكرة أو سرطان الجلد، من المهم استخدام واقٍ من أشعة الشمس للوجه بصورة يومية. ويعد ذلك أكثر أهمية في حالة الحمل أو استخدام حبوب منع الحمل، حيث إن ذلك يعرّض للإصابة "بكلف الحمل".يجب اختيار القوام المناسب لبشرتك، مثل الكريم المريح للبشرة الجافة، والجل الذي لا يتسبب في غلق المسام للبشرة الدهنة أو بخاخ منعش عند تفضيل استخدام كريم للفرك.

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.

NO NEED TO WEAR SUN
PROTECTION WHEN IT'S CLOUDY.

FALSE

Even on a grey and rainy day, skin is exposed to UV rays that will gradually cause the stigmata of photo-ageing to appear. To fully protect your skin, opt for sunscreen every day, not just when it’s warm and sunny.

SUN CAN MAKE
YOU AGE PREMATURELY.

TRUE

UVA rays disrupt skin’s inner building blocks such as collagen and elastin fibres. Over time,sun exposure causes a loss of plumpnessand elasticity as well as wrinkles. UVB rays also stimulate patchy and irregular pigment production leadingto dark spots and a sallow complexion. Globally, thesechanges in the skin are known as photo-ageing.

DARK CLOTHES ARE
BETTER-SUITED FOR THE SUN.

TRUE

Indeed, dark and intense colours such as black, navy, red, or emerald green, provide more UV protection than white and pastels. So make sure you bring along some dark colours items of clothing too when packing for your next holidays!

IS SUNSCREEN SAFE?

Is sunscreen safe to use? You may have read or heard about claims that sunscreen can actually cause cancer. The truth is that these claims are misleading and lack any evidence base. No data published to date shows any adverse health effects in humans due to the regular use of sunscreen, whereas its protective effect against skin cancer has been widely demonstrated. 

The bottom line is that it is the sun, and not sunscreen, that causes skin cancer.
