May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and to mark this, SunKiss partners with Dubai London Clinic, to raise awareness of the importance of sun protection through education and guidance on health<\/span>y<\/span>\u00a0skin. With the unrelenting desert climate of the UAE, constant sun exposure holds a series of risks, making sun protection mandatory for all. During the month of May, with every purchase of SunKiss products, customers will receive a 50 per cent off on mole checking worth AED 450, plus a free aesthetics consultation.\u00a0<\/span>Upon purchase on\u00a0<\/span>www.sunkissme.com<\/a><\/span>\u00a0customers r<\/span>eceive an exclusive\u00a0<\/span>code, which they can use to\u00a0<\/span>book their appointment using the special discount at Dubai London Clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of the condition. Having five or more\u00a0<\/span>instances of blistering\u00a0<\/span>sun burn doubles your risk of developing melanoma, one of the three types of cancer. Ultraviolet lights consisting of UVB (shorter wavelength) and UVA (longer) suppress the skin’s immune function, which causes a myriad of potential risks. Dubai London Clinic’s, Dr. Umesh Nihalani, Specialist Dermatologist, shares the common misconceptions, explains the dangers of tanning and sun exposure, and offers guidance on how to keep skin protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The danger of unprotected exposure includes sunbur<\/span><\/i>n<\/span><\/i>, phototoxic reactions, wrinkles and accelerated ageing, pigmentation and skin cancer<\/span><\/i>s<\/span><\/i>. There are also several skin inflammatory conditions that can be aggravated by sun exposure,” says Dr. Umesh.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/u><\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The best sunscreen is broad spectrum, as it protects against both UBA and UVB rays\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Sunscreen needs to be applied 30 minutes before exposure, re-applied at the point of sun exposure, and then every two hours. When sweating and swimming, it should be reapplied more often.\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A few minutes in the sun does you no harm: e<\/span>ach dose of ultraviolet radiation, large or small, adds up<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0leading to skin damage<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>If it’s cloudy or you’re indoors you don’t need sunscreen: the fact is, ultraviolet rays are not filtered by clouds, and indirect rays coming through glass still cause damage<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Applying sunscreen once a day is enough:\u00a0<\/span>sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours<\/span>, and even more if swimming or sweating<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Small amount of sunscreen is enough for protection:\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>n average adult person needs 6 teaspoons of sunscreen lotion<\/span>\u00a0applied<\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span>all\u00a0<\/span>exposed areas.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
