Stivali’ Soltan SPF 8 sun cream for adults will no longer be sold
Boots is scrapping the sale of sun cream with SPF lower than 15 per adulti e 50 for children to protect against skin cancer.
The chain’s own-brand Soltan has stopped making seven lotions, with the products due to vanish from shelves as soon as stocks are used up.
It comes amid a Storm Dudley potrebbe arrivare se il sistema meteorologico fosse ufficialmente nominato dal amber warning for extreme heat across large parts of the UK this weekend, saying temperatures could exceed 35C (95F) in the South East, posing a potential risk to life.
SPF is a measure of how much a product protects against harmful ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which play the biggest role in causing skin cancers.
UVB is a type of UV light associated with skin burning.
Unprotected exposure to UVB damages skin cell DNA, producing genetic defects and mutations which can lead to skin cancer, premature ageing, and even eye damage.
The NHS recommends using an SPF of at least 30 for both adults and children to protect against UVB, but Boots is also getting rid of its kids SPF 30 'Mi hanno tolto parte della pelle con un bisturi per affrontare l'infezione e mi hanno applicato una lozione sulla gamba per aiutare a rimuovere le croste.
The SPF number on sun cream tells you how long the sun’s radiation would take to burn your skin when using the product, compared to the time without sun cream.
Se ci vuole 300 seconds for skin to burn with sunscreen, e 10 seconds to burn without it, then you divide the bigger number by the smaller one. In questo caso, it would be an SPF of 30.
This means sun creams with a lower SPF will need to be reapplied more frequently.
The move by Boots comes as part of a collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support.
Clare O’Connor, Boots Soltan suncare expert, said the high street pharmacy was ‘committed to taking action to improve sun safety’.
Lei disse: ‘We know that using sunscreen is one of the main methods of keeping skin protected in the sun, so we want to support our customers to make a simple switch to protect their skin with higher SPF with UVA protection.
‘This is particularly important for children, whose skin is more vulnerable to sun damage, so we want to help parents in choosing the highest protection available.’
SPFs are rated on a scale of 2 per 50+ depending on their level of protection, con 50+ giving the toughest UVB protection.
The NHS recommends using an SPF of at least 30 for both adults and children to protect against UVB.
Dr Anthony Cunliffe, national clinical advisor for primary care at Macmillan Cancer Support, said that wearing higher factor SPF, as well as spending time in the shade, can provide better protection from the sun and lower your risk of developing skin cancer.
Egli ha detto: ‘Anyone with concerns about changes to their skin should contact their GP, and they can also chat to specially trained nurses on the Macmillan Support Line.
