SUNSCREEN LOTION + SILICON
Sunscreen Lotion: Sunscreen lotion is a topical product used to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Its primary function is to prevent sunburn and minimize the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging.
The main mechanism of action of sunscreen lotion is to create a physical or chemical barrier on the skin that reflects, scatters, or absorbs UV radiation. This barrier prevents the UV rays from penetrating the skin and causing damage to the DNA of skin cells.
The dose of sunscreen lotion varies depending on the individual and the sun protection factor (SPF) of the product. The SPF indicates the level of protection provided by the sunscreen against UVB rays, which are primarily responsible for sunburns. As a general guideline, it is recommended to apply about 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of sunscreen lotion to cover the entire body approximately 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. The application should be repeated every two hours or more frequently if swimming or sweating occurs.
Although sunscreen lotion is generally considered safe, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation, allergic reactions, or acne breakouts. These side effects are usually mild and can be minimized by using a sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin or seeking advice from a healthcare professional. Additionally, some chemical sunscreens may be absorbed into the bloodstream, but the long-term effects of this are still under investigation.
It is important to note that sunscreen lotion should be part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy, which includes seeking shade during peak sun hours, wearing protective clothing, and using sunglasses to protect the eyes.
