People have always tried to do everything to be tanned, but there are limits that border on madness.

In a couple of weeks we will be able to officially say that the summer has begun and it is time to take out all the heavy artillery: towel, flip flops, bags, etc. One of the main destinations we visit these months is any one that has a beach since it is the best time to take a dip and enjoy the sun as you deserve but always with your head.

In Upeka They are very aware of dermatological health and this week Anita Farma tells us about a trend that has left us stunned: the solar callus. As its name indicates, it is a type of tan that is obtained by exposing ourselves to the sun without sun protection in order to obtain a more natural and healthy tone. even blisters with pus or wounds appearing quite ugly due to burns. Having a perfect tan has always been idealized, but we are never aware that our feet are the largest organ in our body and that we must take great care of them.

This activity is the predisposing factor to have skin cancer in addition to causing accelerated photoaging, favoring the appearance of spots, wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity and firmness. We must not forget that a tan is the scar resulting from exposure to solar radiation that generates the pigment melanin that changes the color of our skin as a symbol of damage.


Skin cancer is one of the things that has increased the most in cases in recent years and is expected to do so much more. This can be avoided with intelligent sun exposure that is before 11:00 in the morning and after 17:00 always having our factor 50 protector on hand.

Protecting the skin is health since it is the only suit that will accompany us until our last day. And did you know this summer trend?
