Although we often associate sunscreen with holidays and the beach, ultraviolet (UV) rays from the spring sun are already intense enough to damage the skin. During this time of year, we spend more hours outdoors and our skin, emerging from winter with less melanin, is more unprotected. Applying a daily photoprotector to the face not only prevents photoaging and spots, but is also the most effective health measure against skin cancer. Remember to choose a protection factor adapted to your skin type and reapply it if you spend a long time in the sun.<\/p>\n\n
In spring, we have a false sense of security. Since the ambient temperature is not yet very high and there is often a cool breeze, we think the sun does not burn. But beware: the intensity of ultraviolet radiation does not depend on how hot it is, but on the position of the sun.<\/p>\n\n
From April onwards, the UV index rises rapidly and reaches levels similar to those in August. Furthermore, our skin arrives in spring “asleep” and pale after months of winter; it has a lower amount of melanin (our natural defense), which makes the risk of suffering hidden burns much higher.<\/p>\n\n
Damage from solar radiation is cumulative. The skin has a memory, and the sun you take in today while having an aperitif on a terrace, walking through the park, or going on a mountain hike has a direct impact on your health:<\/p>\n\n
Every skin has a different need: acne-prone skin will need an oil-free texture, while mature skin will appreciate a protector with antioxidant active ingredients such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n\n
If you have doubts about which is the best sunscreen for your skin type or how to combine it with your daily creams, come to the pharmacy. We will be happy to analyze your skin and recommend the perfect shield to enjoy spring with total safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
