One good habit is to use a face cream with SPF even on cloudy days. Such a remedy will not be superfluous in autumn, spring and even in winter, on those days when the UV index exceeds the norm. According to Doctor Peter, citing oncologist Ivan Karasev, many have probably heard that ultraviolet rays can cause oncology.
“In particular, these are squamous cell carcinoma, basalioma and melanoma,” the doctor recalled.
According to him, there are three types of rays: UVA rays, UVB rays and UVC rays.
The former are considered the weakest of all species. UVA rays harm the skin, but it lies in the fact that wrinkles are formed from them, and they have nothing to do with oncology.
The second type is more dangerous. Cancer from ultraviolet radiation of this type is certainly proven, and it is believed that the majority of skin cancer varieties arise from this radiation.
Finally, UVC rays are even more intense. However, this radiation coming from the sun does not reach the earth, as it is delayed by the earth’s atmosphere. At the same time, similar beams are emitted by quartz and mercury lamps, as well as welding machines.
The doctor reminded that during prolonged exposure to the sun, it is necessary to apply a protective cream every two hours, and if you swim, then after each entry into the water. SPF should be 30 or higher.
It is worth paying special attention to the composition of the product. It is best to avoid sunscreens containing the following UV filters: avobenzone; oxybenzone; octocrylene; ecamsul.
The level of penetration of these ingredients into the bloodstream exceeds the recommended by the FDA, says the oncologist. That is, it is completely incomprehensible what the consequences could be if there are so many chemicals in your body, the doctor warned.
