When the sky will be less grey It will reach for me with its arms One day like a friend It will return to us Oh sun sun sun sun sun sun
[Translation]
Have you ever heard that French song by Nana Mouskouri? When the nice weather returns, we indeed feel like singing and spending as much time as we can outdoors. The sun certainly has a positive effect, but it can truly become harmful in the case of uncontrolled exposure.
We protect ourselves from the sun to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, the most common cancer in Canada and the world. By following simple prevention measures, we can avoid damages and premature aging of our skin.
Limit your sun exposure and look for shade; wear a hat, sunglasses and appropriate clothing; and protect yourself with sunscreen that protects both against UVA and UVB rays, often labeled "broad spectrum". Regardless of the product's efficiency and protection factor, you should know that it doesn't allow you to stay in the sun forever.
At the Figurra Institute, you will find products and services (preventive and corrective) that will allow you to enjoy the sunny days with peace of mind, while adequately protecting your skin.
Let us help you celebrate the benefits of beauty.
