Do you like chocolate tan? Did you know that it is harmful not only for the skin, but also for the whole organism? And it's always better to know what you're risking.
“Long exposure to the sun, even with a good sunscreen, can exacerbate skin and autoimmune diseases, leading to premature aging,” the expert says.
In addition, tanning does not have the most positive effect on the health of the mammary glands. If you already have mastopathy, papillomas inside the ducts, fibroadenomas, then staying in the open sun is generally prohibited.
You can not be in the sun and with some gynecological pathologies: fibromyomas, myomas and endometriosis.
There is no healthy and healthy tan. But if you have already decided to sunbathe, then take care of the availability of a good sunscreen. There are no ideal ones, but we choose the best of what is.
A good sunscreen should stay on the skin for several hours and prevent exposure to UV rays. The cream should not contain chemical factors: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, octinoxate. Almost all of them are dangerous for the hormonal system, especially when combined with water.
Also follow the elementary rules: stay out of the sun during its peak activity — from 10 am to 2 pm, cover your body with clothes as much as possible (sleeved shirt, trousers), cover your head, wear glasses, use umbrellas on the beach.< br>
In general, try to sunbathe in the shade. Yes, such a tan will not give a chocolate shade, but it is much healthier and safer for the skin.
