Sun protection

  • TO BEGIN
  • THE SUN
  • WHICH CREAM
  • AT HOME

What a nice tanning you've got! You look very white; you have not been on holidays? These are typical comments after summer. At the same time, on the media we find alarming headlines, 50.000 people die from skin cancer every year worldwide. Contradictory elements, once more... I always use factor 50+ and thus I am not worried being all day at the beach. Did you know that such a cream does not protect much more than a factor 20 and on the other hand it has more chemical undesirable quantities?

Moderating the time of sun exposure we can also curb the consumption of protection. This year I'm not going to get burnt!

Keep this in mind!
Being in the sun is good, but properly. Whenever it is possible, let us moderate its dose (not too much time, sun hat, clothing...).

The most advisable protector creams are those which only have physical filters in them.

The more protection factor, the more chemicals. A factor 15 filtrates the 93% of UVB rays and at least 30% of UVA ones.
