Sun Protection Specially Designed For You

Protect yourself from the sun

UVA and UVB rays?
The sun is very important for the health of our skin and we must enjoy its properties, however, doing so without protection and in excess can be extremely harmful.

UVA rays penetrate the deepest layers of the skin generating free radicals, responsible for causing blemishes, wrinkles, premature aging of the skin and the development of skin cancer.

UVB rays only reach the outer layer of the skin, they are responsible for generating superficial burns on the skin and annoying blisters.

What is the UV Index?
This index measures the intensity of solar UV radiation that exists on the earth's surface. The higher this index is, means that we are exposed to a greater probability of skin and eye injuries.
It is very important to keep in mind that the central hours of the day (from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm) represent a higher rate of UV radiation, as well as in the months of summer and in places that are higher than sea level.

You can stay outdoors without risk!

Sun Protection Factor (SPF)

It is an international standard that shows the time that a person can remain exposed to the sun's rays without suffering from sunburns. The higher the SPF, the more protected you will be from UVA/UVB rays.

For example, if a person with fair skin is exposed to the sun, they will get sunburns after 10 minutes. If this person wore a SPF 15 sunscreen, they could spend 2 hours 30 minutes in the sun before getting sunburnt.

Skin types

The color of our skin is determined by melanin. At one end of the melanin spectrum there are people with light complexion or with few melanin, and at the other end there are people with brown and black complexion or with melanic protection. In addition to knowing your phototype, it is important to know the recommendations of the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that you should use. Remember that in the central hours of the day (from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm) as well as in summer, you must use high protection. Knowing the phototype of your skin is very important so that you can choose the best suited protection. Here we present you a table so that you can identify it:

How to properly use sunscreen?

Recommendations
• If possible, avoid direct exposure to the sun's rays and reduce hours of exposure.
• When leaving the house, use broad spectrum sunscreen, and preferably wear light colored clothing that covers most of your body.
• Avoid exposing yourself to the sun in the central hours of the day (from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm), where UV rays are strongest.
• On cloudy days do not forget to use sunscreen; remember that 90% of UV rays pass through the clouds.
• Show your children the importance of taking care of their skin and using sunscreen at all times.
• Periodically check the health of your skin. If you notice a lump, a mole that has changed or a wound that does not heal, go see a doctor.
