The thinning of the ozone layer and prolonged sun exposure favour the appearance of skin lesions such as skin cancer and severe burns.
Prevention is easy if you follow these recommendations:
- Use lotions, gels and sprays with high protection to avoid sunburn.
- Avoid peak sun hours (12pm to 4pm).
- Wear appropriate clothing to filter the sun’s rays.
- Use proper sunglasses, parasols and wide-brimmed hats.
Remember that artificial UVA rays are just as harmful as the sun, if the appropriate safety measures are not taken.
