كيف يمكنني حماية وجهي من أشعة الشمس؟

لتجنب علامات تقدم السن المبكرة أو سرطان الجلد، من المهم استخدام واقٍ من أشعة الشمس للوجه بصورة يومية. ويعد ذلك أكثر أهمية في حالة الحمل أو استخدام حبوب منع الحمل، حيث إن ذلك يعرّض للإصابة "بكلف الحمل".يجب اختيار القوام المناسب لبشرتك، مثل الكريم المريح للبشرة الجافة، والجل الذي لا يتسبب في غلق المسام للبشرة الدهنة أو بخاخ منعش عند تفضيل استخدام كريم للفرك.

كيف يمكنني حماية بشرتي من أشعة الشمس بدون واقٍ من الشمس؟

يوصي أطباء الجلدية بارتداء القبعات والنظارات الشمسية والملابس الواقية، بالإضافة إلى اللجوء إلى الظل عندما تكون الشمس في أقوى صورة لها. ولكن واقي الشمس أساس إستراتيجيات الحماية من الشمس ولا يمكن إزالته من روتينك. تخضع واقيات الشمس أنثيليوس لاختبارات صارمة حتى على البشرة الأكثر حساسية لضمان السلامة التامة.

ما عامل الحماية من أشعة الشمس (SPF)؟

SPF اختصار يعني "الحماية من أشعة الشمس". يرتبط بقدرة الواقي من أشعة الشمس على حماية البشرة من أشعة UVB التي تسبب الحروق. كلما زاد الرقم، زادت الحماية. عند التواجد في أشعة الشمس، يوصى باستعمال عامل حماية SPF 30 على الأقل كل ساعتين. يُتطلب استعمال كمية بحجم كرة الجولف على الجسم بالكامل.

هل يساعد بخاخ التسمير في الحماية من الشمس؟

بالطبع لا! يتفاعل بخاخ التسمير مع الخلايا الميتة على سطح البشرة "لصبغ" البشرة. وليس لذلك علاقة من أي نوع بدفاعات البشرة ضد الشمس. بخاخ التسمير أكثر أمانًا من التسمير التقليدي، لكن يجب متابعة حماية بشترك من الشمس بعد استخدام بخاخ التسمير باستخدام واقٍ من أشعة الشمس UVA-UVB ذات نطاق واسع.

IS SUNSCREEN SAFE?

Is sunscreen safe to use? You may have read or heard about claims that sunscreen can actually cause cancer. The truth is that these claims are misleading and lack any evidence base. No data published to date shows any adverse health effects in humans due to the regular use of sunscreen, whereas its protective effect against skin cancer has been widely demonstrated. 

The bottom line is that it is the sun, and not sunscreen, that causes skin cancer.

THE LA ROCHE-POSAY MISSION:
PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH

With an expert dermatological brand like La Roche-Posay, which rigorously tests its products on the most vulnerable skin, you are in safe hands.

AT EVERY STAGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

But what about the environment? La Roche-Posay Laboratories take the possibility of any environmental impact into account at every stage of product development. As part of the Sharing Beauty with All program,

La Roche-Posay ensures that 100% of our final products are meticulously evaluated in terms of environmental and social performance at every step of their life cycle, in order to strongly progress on 4 major criteria:

- raw material sourcing

- packaging

- product social benefits

Both of the sun filters used in La Roche-Posay suncare, Mexoryl XL and SX, have been tested on corals. Even extreme concentrations of these filters in sea water have been proven to have no bleaching effect on coral.
