Suntan, Sunburn And Sun Poisoning
January 27, 2009
Ever wondered what you are exposing your skin to everyday? Skin is basically an outer layer. Thus it is exposed to heat, pollution, season change and what not. All of these have adverse effect on the skin.
Even though you can get vitamin D from the sun, it is the sun that harms the skin the most. If you expose the skin to the sun too much then you will get sun tan, sunburn and sun poison. They cause redness, irritation and sometime can even lead to skin cancer.
Tanned skin may look attractive, but tan is harmful to skin. Tan makes the skin diorite fast and it is a major cause of wrinkle as well. Those who have a light complexion tend to suffer more as they do not have enough protective pigments. Those with less protective pigments will be affected more if they expose their skin to heat and the ultra violet rays too much. So it is better to be extra careful.
Sun burn can lead to sun poison, if the burn is combined with any kind of chemical. It can be any kind of drug, cosmetics, chemicals and even from some plants as well.
Not every product suits the skin. One can get an allergic reaction for using soap, any particular cosmetic that can trigger sun poisoning. Here it should be mentioned that the sun has different effects on different types of skin. What kind of problems you will have due to the sun depends on the kind of skin you have. If your skin is sensitive, then you will never have a tan. Sensitive skin burns, it does not tan. But on the other hand, skin that is less sensitive gets heavy tan, and hardly burns.
If you want a tan, then have it gradually. Do not stay out in the sun for a long time, because that will only burn the skin. Do not go out in the sun from 10 to 2 pm as those are the peek hours. And in case you want to protect your skin from the sun, use a sun block or sunscreen and use an umbrella when you go out.
