The American Cancer Center indicates that there is currently a 10% increase in skin cancer cases per year worldwide. Only in Brazil, the Inca (Cancer Institute) points out that almost 120,000 positive diagnoses of the disease have been registered by December of this year.

The FPS, for day to day, should never be less than 30 for face and hands (regions of the most sensitive skin) and 15 for the rest of the body. Look for filters that specify the index of protection against UVA rays as well. The nomenclature is PPB, and should be 10 or 15. If indicated by the + symbol, choose the one that has 3 +.

There are several dermatological treatments to improve wrinkles. We would say that depending on the desired outcome and the clinical case, the more aggressive the treatment (concomitantly the higher the complication rate), the better the result.
