Don't get a tan to die for

Article by Kathy Joyce

This time of year many people are getting ready for their

summer holidays and spending more time outdoors in the sun.

I live in the South East of England and even here the sun can

be very strong in the summer months. Global warming is

causing the ozone layer to become thinner.Between 1978 and

1985 the the level of ozone in the atmosphere dropped by

2.5%. Ozone offers protection from the sun's ultra violet

rays.

Skin cancer is on the increase and is becoming a worrying

health problem.Children are most vulnerable as their skin is

thinner than an adults and their risk of getting sunburnt is

much greater.

A lot of people still believe that a tan is a sign of good

health and beauty. in fact it is a sign that the skin is damaged.

Most skin damage resulting in wrinkles is caused by exposure

to the sun's UVA rays, and often most of the damage is done

by the age of 21. This may not show up until later in life.

Sunbeds can be even more dangerous as they have mostly UVA

rays which do the most damage. The sun has both UVA and UVB

rays.

The best advice for a healthy, wrinkle free skin is to stay

out of the sun completely, but that can be very difficult

when you're on holiday.

Stay out of the sun during the hottest time of day when the

sun is at it's strongest. That is between midday and about

4.00pm in the afternoon.
