Cancer: The Silent
Killer
The increase in the air air-pollution over the years has
effects on the human skin. Though our skin acts as a shield against these air
pollutants, but still it has severe negative effects on the skin. Today, when cancer is taking over almost every fifth person
on an average, it becomes very necessary to protect ourselves from this
dangerous disease. As the summers are approaching, the harmful UV Rays of sun
are going to affect us directly. It’s not only in summers but even throughout
the year our skin faces the attacks of several weather differences, climatic
changes, rays from computer and gas burners, etc.
These rays coming from sunlight, gas-burners, computers and
even the air pollution from vehicles, dust and dirt etc are affecting after
skin in a negative way. The smoke from vehicles is very harmful for our lungs
and skin. This pollution is causing several dangerous diseases to people of all
ages.
Sunscreens To Protect
Skin
“The prevention is
better than cure.” The
best remedy to cancer is the precaution from the disease. These sun-screens
protect the skin facing the sun and exposed to air. Due to these air-pollutants
and chemicals, the person is more prone to catch these diseases. These
sun-screens contain chemical filters, which are combination of two or more ingredients
like avobenzone, oxybenzone, octsalate, octocrylene, etc.
Sunscreens are also known as “Sunblock” are rich in minerals like zinc oxide. It absorbs the
radiations from the UV Rays of sunlight and saves the skin for some time. The increased
use of sunscreens and sunblocks can control wrinkles, aging and sagging of skin
also.
Sunscreens are commonly rated and labeled with sun protection
factor (SPF). The power of the SPF decides the fighting capacity of the
sunscreen lotion, like SPF 15, SPF 20. The greater the power the greater is the
protection against the UV Rays of the sun.
