On social networks, several influencers advocate alternatives to sunscreen. Some even go further and say they no longer protect themselves once morest the sun’s rays. A dangerous practice according to doctors.
A trend that has cause for concern in this summer period. On social networks, many Internet users suggest that they no longer wear sunscreen to protect themselves. The reason: to take advantage of the benefits of the sun. A dangerous behavior that worries health professionals.
“UV rays are much more toxic than the use of these creams”, assures Laurence Netter, specialist dermatologist. She also advises not to expose yourself to the sun at the most dangerous times for the human body, namely between noon and 4 p.m.
Under the hashtag “antisunscreen”, “anti-cream sunscreen” in French, some influencers and self-proclaimed experts are talking regarding harmful agents present in certain sunscreens. As an alternative, coconut oil is mentioned.
The number of skin cancers on the rise
For Laurence Netter, “the best protection is still the hat, sunglasses and clothing protection”.
It should be remembered that in the long term, overexposure to the sun can lead to premature aging of the epidermis or, in more serious cases, to skin cancer.
According to La Ligue contre le cancer, the number of skin cancers is on the rise. The risk of developing one today is 1 in 100.
