IFSCC Magazine, 12 (4) 381-385 (2009) Synopsis This review explores the difficult relationship between sun and skin. The various significant factors in this substantial problem include in particular the gene pool, the cells' physiological conditions, biochemical reactions (e.g. reactive oxygen species), biophysical modifications of aging (e.g. skin slackness) and social behavior. Facts regarding the risks related to sun exposure need constant updating and clearly dermatological recommendations should be mindful to include all populations, particularly the high-risk groups (due to their low skin phototype or their location on the globe). It is obvious to most researchers that far too much misleading information and incorrect extrapolations are being continuously disseminated. There currently exists an overwhelming need for public debate and a global agreement put in place to advise individuals on the correct methods and products to efficiently protect themselves from the harmful effects of sunbeams. These recommendations should also take into account other global health concerns like Vitamin D deficiencies. Possible goals are to develop international homogeneity in the evaluation of broad-spectrum sunscreen products and to target efficient campaigns for communication when necessary. These measures need to be coordinated in such a way that the problems with sun protection will be solved in order to avoid any dramas existing in current paradigms. |
