Another negative effect of the sun; The natural aging of the skin increases with the sun and occurs earlier. Changes such as dark spots, wrinkles, sagging skin, red veining and coarsening occur much earlier in those exposed to UV radiation for a long time. Therefore, photoaging is the premature aging of the skin, generally as a result of intense and chronic exposure to UV and sunlight. You can easily see this for yourself. For example, look at an area that is less exposed to the sun (buttocks) and compare it with your face to see the difference. You can see the difference in tone, color and structure. We can reduce photoaging with sun protection. It is very important to protect children from the sun. 50-80% of sun damage on our skin occurs during childhood and adolescence. Each sunburn increases the harmful effect.

It is very harmful to get an artificial tan with a solarium. It significantly increases the risk of skin cancer. Solarium increases the tanning of the skin with UV rays, it is very effective in tanning the skin without burning. However, a bronze skin acquired in this way cannot protect itself from sunburns while under the sun. The first rule in sun protection is to use sunscreen cream. However, it is still not safe for someone who has applied sunscreen cream to stay under the sun for a long time. It is not currently possible to literally block the sun. No sunscreen can provide complete protection. People should not stay in the sun for too long under the misconception that sunscreens block all harmful rays. Sunbathing should be avoided between the hours of 11.00-15.00, when the sun's rays are most intense.
