Meet the new labeling of sunscreens

This information is being disseminated through all means, as it is of vital importance, so we will not stop touching it here, since it is in our hands to have knowledge to protect our children and ourselves properly.

As we already know that sunrays are dangerous and that sunscreens are essential to expose ourselves to them, it is also important to know what products we should acquire for our little ones and also for us.

The legend "Total Screen" or "Total Protection" among others of the style, will disappear, because they are a lie. For a long time, many consumers have been fooled that due to lack of knowledge and good faith, they have believed together the message of the packaging and the consequences of inadequate exposure to sunlight and we know them, every year about 3,200 are recorded. 000 cases of skin cancer.

The new sunscreen labels, although this year will only be worn by 20% of those on the market, they release a new logo for UVA ultraviolet rays, which interfere with the immune system and contribute to the aging of the skin. Experts consider that they are more dangerous than UVB, which affect the outer layer of the skin, although both increase the risk of skin cancer.

But it is still interesting to control the subject, since when seeing in the labeling protection with UVB, people think that it is safe, and in reality, it does not protect against UVA rays.

Well, in addition to these data, the new labels will indicate the degree of protection as "low", "medium", "high" or "very high".

The sun's rays are in full swing, do not neglect the care of your skin or that of your children, if you have doubts about the protection your skin needs, do not hesitate to consult the specialist.
