Is sunbathing good or bad for you? Getting a suntan is a highly controversial subject. Some people declare that sunbathing is bad for your health and can trigger serious diseases; others retort that sunlight makes people happy and has various health benefits. Few people know this fact, but after spending 6 hours sunbathing, your immune system gets weaker and fulfills only one-third of its typical activity. This increases the risk of skin cancer and skin infections even further. What's more, some scientists state that sunburns change the function and distribution of white blood cells, which are supposed to fight diseases in your body. Such alterations can last for up to 24 hours after the exposure.

Such burns are called snow blindness or photokeratitis. - Your lips are one of the most vulnerable areas on your body. They usually have only 4 layers of skin cells; other parts of your body are covered with 13 to 15 layers. Moreover, there are no oil or sweat glands on your lips. Thus, they dry out and crack during sunbathing. - When you sunbathe, your hair loses moisture and becomes brittle and dry. Hair cuticles stand up, and your hair becomes more prone to tangling. - When you spend too much time in the sun, your nails dry out. This makes them weak and vulnerable; they break easily or peel off in layers. - According to some dermatology specialists, up to 80% of all the wrinkles people have are caused by sun exposure. - Few people know this fact, but after spending 6 hours sunbathing, your immune system gets weaker and fulfills only one-third of its typical activity. This increases the risk of skin cancer and skin infections even further. - There are numerous blood vessels situated close to the surface of your skin. Usually, you can't notice them with the naked eye. But if you sunbathe for long hours, these tiny vessels can become visible because they dilate. - Melanoma develops when melanocytes undergo damage and start to divide. They're not meant to do this, but overexposure to sunlight can lead to this terrible result. - When you sunbathe, you also prevent multiple sclerosis, which is a central nervous system disease. This medical condition leads to tremors and, in the worst cases, paralysis. - By warming the muscles of your body and easing stiffness, sunlight helps to relieve pain from serious inflammatory conditions like arthritis. - According to dental experts, sunlight can help your teeth to stay healthy and strong. For example, statistically speaking, children from the north of the UK have 3 times more cavities than children from the southern regions. - Reapply sunscreen every hour and a half. If you swim, reapply it more often. Don't spend more than 15 minutes in the sun without protection. Avoid staying in the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Choose sunglasses with 100% UV protection.
