According to the Portuguese League Against Cancer, there are 12,000 new cases of skin cancer in Portugal every year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sunlight reaches us in the form of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB and UVC.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although these rays are essential for survival, they are absorbed by the skin and cause ageing, dark spots and sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer.<\/p>\n

We often see the \u2018Sun Protection Factor\u2019 listed on sunscreens; this figure relates to the strength of the sunscreen, but it does not mean that using a product with an SPF higher than 50 will protect you for the whole day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This figure indicates the amount of time you can spend in the sun.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everyone has a different skin type, which reacts to the sun in a different way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In different locations, on different days and at different times of day, the amount of UV radiation reaching us varies (this is known as the Ultraviolet Index \u2013 the higher it is, the more radiation reaches us, and the more protection we need).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, a sunscreen with SPF 50 (if applied correctly) means that only 1\/50th of the sun\u2019s radiation will reach the skin, increasing by 50 times the amount of time that particular person, at that specific moment and in that specific location, can spend in the sun without getting burnt, up to a maximum of 2 hours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The higher the SPF, the better your skin will be protected against damage caused by UV rays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t underestimate UV rays; even if you don\u2019t feel your skin burning, just a few minutes\u2019 exposure to the sun may be enough for you to notice a severe sunburn by the end of the day.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”How do you use sun cream?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h3″ title_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” title_font_size=”17px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin=”||1px|||”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” custom_margin=”6px||31px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” custom_margin=”-26px||31px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ min_height=”110.4px”]<\/p>\n Even when we\u2019re not spending time outdoors, we should all apply sun cream to exposed areas of the body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cumulative exposure to the sun without protection causes the skin to age over the years and increases the likelihood of developing skin cancer.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" According to the Portuguese League Against Cancer, there are 12,000 new cases of skin cancer in Portugal every year.Sunlight reaches us in the form of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB and UVC.Although these rays are essential for survival, they are absorbed by the skin and cause ageing, dark spots and sunburn, and increase the risk of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sem-categoria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2088"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2090,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088\/revisions\/2090"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fhvirtualclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
