With the arrival of summer, ‘Focus’ has analyzed how the skin must be protected for exposure to the sun that we do during this time of year and for this he has spoken with Blanca Llácer, specialist in dermocosmetics and owner of a pharmacy in Benidorm.

“There is quite a bit of misuse of photoprotectors,” this expert assures our program and for this reason ‘Focus’ has traveled to a beach to ask people about the harmful social recipes that were used years ago and that continue to be done: “No I have never put cream on until 25 years ago.

Blanca Llácer tells us about the importance of using these photoprotectors: “There is no doubt about all the damage that social radiation produces on the health of the skin and the body. Not only photoaging, hyperpigmentation, hyperkeratosis, even skin cancer“.

The sale of solar photoprotectors has increased by 19%represents an expense of 150 euros per person per year and 89% of the creams sold are of high photoprotection.

The first step in choosing a sun cream is to know our skin biotype to know what level of protection we need. In Spain, most of the population belongs to the biotypes 2, 3 and 4. A clue to know our biotype is to know our eye and hair color. “When a protective factor puts a certain number, what it means is the ability it has to filterit has nothing to do with it lasting a certain time”, explains the dermatologist Eduardo Nagore.

The next step is the sunscreen that we have to use depending on our skin, physical filter or chemical filter. “The physical filter is always better”, says Eduardo Nagore. Children under two years of age should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
