“They penetrate less and therefore we don’t get burned,” assuring and all this, of course, without protective creambecause, as they explain, exposure to the sun without this protection will allow them to develop “their sun callus.”

Moreover, according to them, it is creams cause health problems and that the way to prevent skin cancer is through a dangerous sun callus.

On the other hand, we have Vitamin Cwhich synthesizes collagen and is found in foods such as citrus fruits, peppers or parsley, and vitamin E present in oils and seeds. There is also curcumin, which has an anti-inflammatory effect.
