Sun Protection
The use of sunscreen is important throughout the year and not only during the summer months. Sun protection is the secret for a beautiful and youthful skin. At the same time, it prevents skin cancer, as the skin is protected from harmful UV radiation.
How can you protect yourself from the sun?
Photopollution and stress can be harmful for our skin. The weather conditions during the winter (cold and snow) and summer make our skin more sensitive.
Sun protection is therefore necessary on a daily basis and throughout the year. An important ally against the harmful effects of sun is the use of sunscreen. However, it is quite important to clarify the characteristics a sunscreen should have. Dermatologists suggest to choose a sunscreen that offers:
- Wide-spectrum protection ( protection against UVA and UVB rays)
- SPF protection index, at least, 30
- Waterproof coverage
MEY suggests SUN CARE EMULSION VERY HIGH PROTECTION SPF 50+ with UVA and UVB wide-spectrum sunscreen filters to help minimise the harmful effects of sun rays.At the same time, the stem cells from Sea Fennel reduce the production of melanin and regulate the skin pigmentation mechanism, helping to avoid brown spots. It is ideal for all skin types
Sunscreen does not offer 100% protection, as ultraviolet radiation has very high power. Therefore, it is important to avoid direct exposure to the sun at midday, when sun rays are very harmful.
Why do you have to wear sunscreen every day?
The main reason to use sunscreen every day is that the destruction of the ozone layer allows UV rays to reach us at higher rates, thus increasing their photoaging and carcinogenic potential. This not only happens when the weather is sunny, as UV rays penetrate the clouds without any difficulty. The use of sun protection products delays the appearance of wrinkles and destroy free radicals. According to studies, it is estimated that 90% of aging marks occur due to exposure of skin to the sunlight.
How to use the sunscreen properly?
It is crucial to choose a sunscreen suitable for your skin type, age and activity.
Sunscreen products must be applied 20 to 30 minutes before exposure to the sun in all uncovered parts of the body even in the hands and neck. Repeat the application every 2 hours.
