| 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 :
- No need for UV protection in autumn and winter (October through to March in the northern hemisphere)
- Daily skincare (incorporating UV filters SPF 8-15) in spring and summer (April through to September)
- Suncare (SPF>30) on sunny holidays and long periods outdoors on summer weekends
Adoption of this strategy should lead to the following outcomes:
- prevention of sunburn
- give about the same lifetime UV exposure as a 35 year old using no sun protection
- reduce the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer by at least 5-fold relative to a non-user of sunscreen
- delay the signs of photoageing
- ensure a moderate exposure to sunshine, especially in late summer and early autumn, to maintain vitamin D status during the winter months.
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. The biological effects of UV on skin are summarised below. |
