Detect early
With his colleague, Doctor Blandine Kubler, he pointed out the main danger of prolonged exposure to the sun: melanoma.

Do not expose children before 2 years
To protect yourself, dermatologists remind you of the rules to follow: do not expose yourself to the sun between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m., wear a t-shirt, a hat and sunglasses. Concerning the sun creams and the sun protection factor to choose, it is index 50 without hesitation, and for everyone. Even more important protection for children, who should under no circumstances be exposed to the sun, especially before the age of two. “We see that many cases of melanoma are linked to prolonged exposure to the sun in childhood,” explains Adrien Mareschal.
