Why it is important to protect yourself from the sun: risks and prevention
Sun exposure has benefits for the body, such as vitamin D production and mood improvement. However, Doing so without proper protection can cause significant short and long-term skin damage..
Risks of sun exposure without protection
- Premature aging: appearance of wrinkles, spots and loss of elasticity
- sunburn: direct skin damage, pain and redness
- skin spots: pigmentation alterations that are difficult to eliminate
- Increased risk of skin cancer: Cumulative exposure to UV rays is one of the main risk factors.
How to prevent sun damage
