Skin aging develops and %80 depends on the sun, %10 depends on the age and %10 depends on smoking cigarette, stress, hormonal and genetic changing.
The aging, which is caused by the sun lights the most important reason of skin aging, is called “photo aging”. Photo aging is obvious on the upper sides of the hands and the face which are exposed to sun chronically.

The people, who are light colored skinned, blue or green eyed, blonde-red haired, easily burned under the sun, outworkers like farmers and fishermen, constitute the risk groups for skin cancers. The sun lights, which reach the earth between 11.00 and 15.00, have the specialties of making skin cancer. The skin cancers depending on the sun can occur both on the normal skin and on the beauty spots and also they can be seen mostly on the face and hands.
There is no healthy tanning.
Tanning protects the skin from sunburns. However, oppositely it sets the stage for the skin cancers. Tanning is called to be accepted the skin aging and skin cancer risk. High wave ultraviolet rays (UVA) is used in solarium which is a method applied for the tanning for the last years. These rays have the influences of precipitator for the skin cancer and skin aging.
For the skin health, it should be stayed away from the solarium which its long term effects are well known. In some parts of the self-tanning cosmetics which is a method applied for tanning, there is some dyestuff like henna. These kinds of stuffs can show the skin like tanned, but they cannot protect the skin from the sunburns, skin cancers and skin aging. Even if these stuffs are used, the other sun protective methods should also be used.

The detailed hat having protection characteristics, dark colored eye glasses having closed edges should be used and if being outside is necessary, it should be sit in the shadow and the body should be protected with suitable cloths.
Although these protections, a little bit sun exposure is inevitable. The sun lights can reverberate from water, sand and snow. And also it can cause skin problems by reaching the earth even in the cloudy weathers.
Because of this reason besides addition protection precautions, using of sun protective creams is important. Skin cancers can show decline with the regular using of sun protective creams.
