Watch out for the sun. During this summer period, the National League against Cancer criss-crosses the beaches to make bathers aware of the dangers of ultraviolet rays. In France, skin cancers are the most frequent on the territory.
Applying sunscreen is an opportunity to tan with peace of mind. “I have people in my family who had problems years later with sunburn”, says a tourist. Others prefer monoi, a reflex to be banned according to the League against cancer, in prevention operation with holidaymakers in Cassis (Bouches-du-Rhône). “We are mainly there to help them, inform them, give them little gadgets”explains Valentin Jallut, volunteer at the League Against Cancer.
Do not go in the sun at noon
Protecting children is the number one reflex to adopt, because their skin is thinner. Those who have been improperly exposed may later develop skin problems. “I know my skin is damaged, but that’s not what I’m trying to do”, advances a local resident. It should then be remembered that sunbathing between noon and 4 p.m. is to be avoided.
