Of all the organs of the body, the skin is the largest and most versatile of all. It is the only organ that is directly and constantly open abroad. Protects from external agents, such as heat, cold, air and elements and bacteria, is waterproof, repairs and lubricates itself and even eliminates some waste from the body. For these motifs and more, the newspaper dialogued with the Dermatologist José Pedernera (MP 28394/0), who commented on the importance of skin care, especially in the summer season where people are more exposed to the radiation emitted by the sun. In that frame, the specialist indicated that “The radiation of the sun that comes to Earth are basically two and cause skin effects. Some are beneficial, such as vitamin D production, and make skin health, but on the other hand, when people exceed exposure, rays cause effects that are harmful. "" The most common are solar burns . These are acute, fast effects that we can notice from one day to the other. However, dermatologists are always attentive to chronic effects, ”said Pedernera and added:" In those cases, the first thing we are going to observe in most people who exceed sunbathing is photo downt, that is, the Premature aging of the skin, a topic currently consulted. Marco stressed that “Maximum attention is concentrated in skin cancer. It is necessary to know that the radiation is cumulative, as the years go by, they concentrate on the DNA of the skin cells. This is something progressive and irreversible. ” "Then, each person according to the type of skin, genetics and sun exposure that he had in his life is committed to the fact that at some point any of these effects be triggered, from the acute to the most serious," he said .

Tips for taking care of skin as to the care of the skin, pedernera provided advice to be implemented in everyday life. First, he mentioned the schedules where "you have to be more protected and in the shade." “This is something popularly known, between 11 and 16 hours people must protect themselves. I even encourage that until 17 because today the sun burns a lot, "he said." Another very important point to consider is the correct use of sunscreen. You should start using half an hour before being exposed to the sun. We must take it as the medications, they will protect us when they absorb and begin to act appropriately, ”argued the dermatologist and added:“ If we have the habit of being on the beach, in the river or wherever and only when We sat down at the restraint we applied protector have already passed many minutes without protection. Many times they tell me I put a protector and I flew the same but not so, the crush occurred in the five or ten minutes that passed without the protector acting. ”The photoprotection level is another relevant factor that appointed Pedernera. “Dermatologists always make an apartment at number 50. From there we are up there are very well protected, while down the shelter begins. Between a 30 and 50 there is good protection but it is not guaranteed, this has to do with the type of skin, but it is already a separate issue, ”he said. In turn, he said that“ the frequency indicated to renew the protector is Every three or four hours, according to the skin prototype, that is, the tone and degree with which the skin defends the radiation, and the context in which the person is. ” "The protector, the easier to apply and less white leaves the skin, the more used it is by the people," he said. After consulting the costs of sunscreen and how it influences its use, losing said: “They should be covered For social works because they are health protectors, like any medication. I understand that some social works cover them, but it should be universal and accessible to everyone. But unfortunately, good quality sunscreens are not accessible, prices are very high and when one goes to the gondola begins to haggle or not use them directly. ”On the other hand, pos solar hydration must be taken into account,“ so much so much so much oral route such as the use of gels. They are very appropriate because, with or without protector, the body is inflaming since it received the punishment of radiation, ”he said." When one deflaments the skin quickly, the premature death of the cells is stopped. So it is good to use a solar gel and a moisturizer at night, "he said and continued:" You don't have to forget your eyes, it is very important to use sun glasses. "" There are many points, but the main thing is the schedule , sunscreen and post solar hydration. It is a previous care, during and posterior, ”said Pedernar and highlighted:“ While the skin looks tan and pretty people get fallen, but then the problems begin and there are awareness. It is important to prevent to avoid the greatest possible damage. ”
