Sun exposure capital

The skin's protective system is efficient but fragile. Studies carried out in this area have shown that every individual has a sun exposure capital determined at birth. The sun exposure capital enables everyone to fight against a determined quantity of ultraviolet rays throughout your life. If the capital runs out, the skin can no longer protect itself against the sun's attacks, and the damaged cells can no longer be repaired. By overstepping this limit, one can risk developing skin cancer, suffering premature and accelerated skin ageing.
