With the arrival of summer, fun is not only in swimming, seafood, sea breeze, but also in the sun's rays. Especially girls have a clear goal of "chocolate color". The body looks better. But what really happens to the skin during this process?
Our skin undergoes a series of chemical processes and reactions that lead to the formation of the desired tan.
The sun's rays contain a form of radiation called ultraviolet (UV) rays, which fall into two main categories: UVA rays and UVB rays. When our skin is exposed to these rays, a series of physiological reactions begin to occur that lead to tanning.
As we know, prolonged exposure to UV rays can be very harmful to our skin.
"The body is not tanned to be more beautiful, there is no advantage in fact," said Aleksandar Sekulic, dermatologist.
'Instead, shedding is a direct response to mutations that occur in our DNA.'
So, according to Sekulic, the skin is damaged at a cellular level. The damage is microscopic, but this damage can eventually lead to skin cancer.
Kur qelizat e lëkurës kërcënohen nga rrezet UV të diellit, ato kalojnë në modalitetin e mbrojtjes, duke shpërndarë qelizat e pigmentuara më të errëta (melanocitet) në të gjithë sipërfaqen e lëkurës. Pigmenti parandalon që rrezatimi UV të godasë pjesët më të vlefshme të qelizave. Në fakt, melanina thith dhe shpërndan rrezet e diellit, duke ndihmuar në uljen e sasisë së rrezatimit UV që arrin nivelet më të thella të lëkurës.
Ndërsa pigmenti grumbullohet, lëkura juaj duket më e nxirë. Sa më shumë që lëkura juaj të jetë nën kërcënim, aq më shumë punon për të formuar mburoja pigmenti. Kjo është arsyeja pse errësoheni sa më shumë të ekspozoheni në diell.
It should be mentioned that DNA mutations caused by sun exposure can lead to skin cancer and weakening of connective fibers, which leads to wrinkles, sagging skin and sun spots. So it is exactly that color of chocolate that protects you from cancer.
Naturally, "white" people have more difficulty creating this protective skin filter and are therefore more at risk of developing problems due to exposure to sunlight. Regardless of skin type, experts recommend using an SPF 30 sunscreen, wearing a hat and staying in the shade as much as possible.
