The Benefits of Sunlight for Healthy Skin
In recent days we have seen an increasing number of people going to the beach and pool. Many of them are just going to enjoy a beautiful day and play. However, others go in search of the famous summer tan.
Unfortunately, we know that the sun, given current conditions, causes major damage to our skin and our health. Moreover, excessive exposure can cause skin cancer.
If we compare the radiation received in autumn and winter with these hot months we can say that UVB radiation increases by 5% and 95% UVA. The effects of UV radiation are dose dependent and cumulative.
In relation to the effects that can cause the sun’s rays, the doctor said that there are two types:
1. Radiation have an immediate effect
UVB: Increased vitamin D, a factor that plays an important role in setting the calcium in bones.
UVA: It produces immediate pigmentation (tanning)
IR: Has heat or thermal action
LIGHT: You have antidepressant action
