When sunbathing, it is essential to bear in mind that\u00a0a series of guidelines and recommendations to ensure that our skin is not damaged by excessive sun exposure<\/strong>. It is more than proven that a good protector is essential.<\/p>\n

The time when the sun's rays are most intense<\/strong><\/p>\n

Experts are unanimous in recommending that it is necessary to\u00a0avoid the effect of lightning<\/strong>\u00a0when the sun acts perpendicularly on us, which will be the case for the\u00a0occurs between 11am and 4pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best time for sunbathing is from sunrise to 10 a.m. and then from 5 p.m. onwards.<\/strong>\u00a0The intermediate hours can be dangerous, to a greater or lesser extent. The reason for this type of risk is that the level of ultraviolet radiation from the sun (known as UVA and UVB) is more aggressive during these hours.<\/p>\n

Progressive sunbathing<\/strong><\/p>\n

If we have not been sunbathing regularly and we intend to do so taking advantage of the arrival of the summer season, beaches, swimming pools, etc... we must\u00a0start progressively.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is advisable to\u00a0increase the time spent in the sun each day by ten minutes over the previous day.<\/strong>\u00a0On the first day we should not sunbathe for more than fifteen minutes. In this way, after approximately ten or twelve days, our skin will be able to withstand - with the appropriate protective products - the time we consider to have been exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n

Although these recommendations are general recommendations, it will be necessary to\u00a0analyse the peculiarities of each person<\/strong>\u00a0depending on their skin type. For example, while blondes and redheads have a low resistance and tolerance to solar radiation, brown people have a normal tolerance and people with darker skin will tolerate a higher solar incidence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The protection factor, a must<\/strong><\/p>\n

Products with an appropriate protection factor\u00a0do not cancel out the full effect of the sun's rays on our skin.<\/strong>Contrary to what we may sometimes believe. What they really give us is an increase in the time that our dermis has an optimal tolerance to sunbathing.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0application of a good protection factor<\/strong>\u00a0should be carried out approximately\u00a0half an hour before the start of the exposure to the rays<\/strong>\u00a0sunscreen. In addition, we have to consider that its effect is not very long-lasting, among other things because of the water from bathing, our own sweat, etc... For this reason, it is ideal to apply the protection factor frequently.<\/p>\n

Which sun protection factor to choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are different factors that influence this decision. One of them is\u00a0skin type<\/strong>which has a higher or lower tolerance to the sun. We will also analyse\u00a0if it is the first time in the summer that we expose ourselves to the sun<\/strong>\u00a0or we have been doing so for some days now.<\/p>\n

The index of protective factors has\u00a0a direct relationship with the time of sun exposure.<\/strong>\u00a0Thus, if we choose a protection factor of 20, every 20 minutes of exposure to the sun our skin will have the effect of sunbathing directly and without protection for one minute. If the filter is 50, every 50 minutes of exposure we will get the effect of one minute of direct sun, etc...<\/p>\n

The sun for the little ones in the house<\/strong><\/p>\n

Babies should not go to the beach, swimming pool or direct sunlight.<\/strong>\u00a0and even less so in high temperatures. In fact, it is recommended that newborns should stay out of the sun until they are 5 months old.<\/p>\n

After 5 or 6 months and up to three years of age, precautions should be taken.<\/strong>\u00a0if we decide to have the children accompany us on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

After the age of three, the sun is a very important source of vitamin D.<\/strong>\u00a0for children, but they do not have to be directly exposed to direct tanning. Children's skin is more vulnerable to the effects of the sun and possible sunburn. Moreover, believe it or not, solar radiation accumulates and has a carcinogenic effect that can progressively accumulate.<\/p>\n
