come to you. Even if you stay in the city, you run the risk. I give you a guide of what to do for the sun to your skin rough treatment.
So it’s important to know some facts about sun exposure:
1. UV rays also reflect off of surfaces like water, cement, sand, and snow.
2. Most sun protection products work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering sunlight.
They contain chemicals that interact with the skin to protect it from UV rays. All products do not have the same ingredients; if your skin reacts badly to one product, try another one or call a doctor.
3. Sun exposure damages the eyes as well as the skin.
4. Some medications increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays. As a result, even kids with skin that tends not to burn easily can develop a severe sunburn in just minutes when taking certain medications. Fair-skinned kids, of course, are even more vulnerable.
5. Clothing provides very little protection from extended stays in the sun.

b) If you go to any city:
Walking through the streets or have a snack on the terrace without sunscreen carries the same risks of scalding that if we did at the beach. You must use a sunscreen at least on the face, the most exposed and most accused photoaging.

Easter Vacations? Beware of the Sun
Many take this week to go on vacation and that means … taking the Sun. Like it or not exposing skin to sun rays always come to you. Even if you stay in the city, you run the risk. I give you a guide of what to do for the sun to your skin rough treatment.

According to the World Health Organization, the snow reflects 80% of ultraviolet rays, a figure much higher than other surfaces such as grass, asphalt, sand or water, where ultraviolet rays are reflected only 25%. At higher altitudes the ultraviolet radiation is more intense because the distance to the sun is lower. In addition, during the spring and clear sky conditions,snow reflection may increase the radiation values to the levels of summer. Thus, snow willbe employed provided the highest protection factor, regardless of skin phototype have,and applying at least every two hours.
If you go to the beach:

The problem is that the sun does not fall in the same way in all corners of the earth, and solar radiation, dependent on the sun’s elevation varies with latitude, season and time, being higher in the tropics, in summer and at noon. Moreover, in these places, which usually have clear water and white sand, the sun is more dangerous because it is reflected,multiplying its impact.
