Summer is coming and sun exposure on beaches, swimming pools, etc. increases. That is, the skin must be more protected, since it is more exposed and is the largest organ in the human body. Each skin type responds to the sun in a different way, for this reason, not everyone will protect themselves from the sun in the same way. There are skins that are more prone to acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Depending on the type of skin you have, you will tan more or less, you will get sunburned sooner or not, or you will even get sunspots. In this article we tell you how the skin acts against the sun according to genetics.
Genetics and the skin
Everyone in the world has a different skin type. Therefore, not all of them will respond the same to the same care. So, each person will need to maintain their skin in a different way. And the genetic diversity that exists is more than evident. Skin and hair color, freckles, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity, sagging, skin hydration… are very clear examples of the genetic diversity that exists in the human population.
Depending on the genetics we have, we can know the tan we will have. And a study concludes that genetic variations determine the behavior of the skin in the sun. The human genome is present in every cell of our body and defines how we are, from hair color to how our body functions.
You can also know the trend on sunburns. A study says that people with light skin, light-colored hair, and blue or green eyes are more prone to sunburn, since they have less melanin and melanin is meant to protect the damaging effect that sunlight can have on our organism.
As we have said before, it is also possible for spots to appear, and that is due to an excess of melanin in the body, due to many accumulated years of sun exposure.
How to care for your skin in summer
We have to worry about the largest organ in the human body, the skin. Let’s not forget about her. We must take certain habits so that we can enjoy good topical health.
- Diet: it is one of the key points to take care of the skin, since there are many ingredients that have the ability to help prevent cellular degeneration. Foods such as carrots, red fruits, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables are ideal for this time of year.
- Hydration: stay well hydrated in summer. Increase the amount of water you usually consume.
- Protection: Sun protection is essential in summer, as there is greater sun exposure. The 20-30 minutes before leaving the house will be ideal for you to apply the protective cream. Furthermore, it should not only be done outdoors, but also protect the skin from the inside, by taking an oral sunscreen .
