Résumé : |
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation exhibits a number of effects on skin, both beneficial and undesirable. The purpose of sun protection should be to minimise the likelihood of adverse effects without undue detriment to the beneficial effects. A strategy is proposed for a rational approach to suncare for people living in countries not known for their sunny climate, which is: â—‹ No need for UV protection in autumn and winter (October through to March in the northern hemisphere) â—‹ Daily skincare (incorporating UV filters SPF 8-15) in spring and summer (April through to September) â—‹ Suncare (SPF>30) on sunny holidays and long periods outdoors on summer weekends Adoption of this strategy should lead to the following outcomes: â—‹ prevention of sunburn â—‹ give about the same lifetime UV exposure as a 35 year old using no sun protection â—‹ reduce the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer by at least 5-fold relative to a non-user of sunscreen â—‹ delay the signs of photoageing â—‹ ensure a moderate exposure to sunshine, especially in late summer and early autumn, to maintain vitamin D status during the winter months. |
