Coloring The Skin Cancer Risk

Coloring The Skin Cancer Risk

Fans of coloring leather (tanning) at the salon seems to have to be more vigilant. In a study conducted this skin darkening, the process turns out to cause skin cancer risk, though in the process not done burning.

Types of ultraviolet radiation that is used in tanning bed causes damage under the skin though harmful effects are not visible on the surface of the skin.

UVB rays of sunlight has long been known to cause damage to the skin overall. While UVA released the Sun and is also used by the tanning bed was often considered relatively harmless.

But the research has been published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology shows that UVA can result in the risk of skin cancer. The target is the area below the surface of the cells divide to create a new layer. This effect causes damage to the DNA of cells that trigger the risk of skin cancer.

Prof. Antony Young, one of the researchers from King's College London, said that the research had written that UVA doesn't cause serious damage to the skin. "The damage in the top layers are not so important as the layers that will soon die. But the damage to the lining of their cells are still growing and splitting it is worrying, "he said.

Overall, the rays of the UVB RAYS cause damage throughout the layers of the skin including the inner layer. But the worst effects were more visible at the surface is real. But the damage caused by UVA is more focus on the lower layer though without burning the outer layer of the skin.

People who are exposed to sunlight through the window of a car can have the same risk as the glass filter is used to counteract UVB radiation and not for UVA.

This research was conducted on 12 volunteers to compare directly the effects of UVB rays with a dose equivalent to UVA in human skin.

Prof. Mark Birch-Machin, scientist at the University of Newcastle, Peel said, "Although UVB RAYS cause more damage to DNA than UVA to dose the same as sunburn, the effects of UVA go deeper into the layers of skin," he said.

European Union guidelines on State protection against UVA radiation is at least a third of the SPF value on the label. "My advice is make sure you have enough sun cream slathered. Most people just slathered a third or half of the amount they need, "he said.
