Dermatologist Fátima Tubini clarifies and warns about the health risks of artificial tanning
Summary
An ideal summer tan can be harmful to your health, increasing the risk of skin cancer. The dermatologist warns about the dangers of artificial tanning and recommends the use of self-tanners.
With the arrival of summer, the search for the ideal golden shade increases, but there is no shortage of health risks. “There is no such thing as a healthy tan achieved through unprotected sun exposure. When the skin changes color, it is a sign that there has already been damage caused by ultraviolet rays,” explains dermatologist Fátima Tubini.
This process, in addition to accelerating skin aging, significantly increases the risk of skin cancer, one of the most widespread pathologies in Brazil.
Specialist Tubini reiterates that methods such as artificial tanning are not only risky, but extremely harmful: “The World Health Organization classifies these rooms as carcinogenic agents, that is, they cause cancer. Even a single session can pose a real danger to skin health.”
This warning aims to discourage the use of this practice, which continues to be used by many uninformed people.
For those who want to keep their skin healthy without giving up a tan, self-tanners are the best solution. “These products act on the surface layer of the skin, offering a uniform and safe golden tone, without any harmful impact on the skin cells,” says specialist Fátima.
Furthermore, the dermatologist emphasizes that sun protection must be maintained, even with the use of self-tanners.
The dermatologist emphasizes that maintaining healthy skin requires a care routine:
• Use a sunscreen with an SPF suited to your skin type, reapplied every two hours.
• Avoid sun exposure between 10am and 4pm, when UV rays are most intense.
• Use physical barriers such as hats, UV-protected clothing and sunglasses.
“Simple treatments can prevent serious diseases and preserve the youth and health of the skin,” concludes the dermatologist.
