Occupational Exposure to Natural UV Radiation and Premature Skin Ageing

Abstract: The skin is the part of the human body most vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The spectrum of the negative effects of UV radiation on the skin ranges from acute erythema to carcinogenesis. Between these extreme conditions, there are other common skin lesions, e.g., photoageing. The aim of this study was to assess the skin for signs of photoageing in a group of 52 men occupationally exposed to natural UV radiation. There were 2 types of examinations: an examination of skin condition (moisture, elasticit… Show more

“…This leads to an impaired immune surveillance, which, in turn, can favor cancer development [57]. In addition, there is clinical evidence that shows that UVr is strongly related to photoaging [58,59,60]. In the last few years, oral probiotic treatment has been proposed as an interesting alternative approach for photoprotection, which may be useful in reducing photoaging, UV-induced immunosuppression and cancer development.…”

“…Living body tissues have high reactivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is present in natural sunlight. Therefore, protecting the human skin from UV damage is one of the main issues in dermatology and cosmetology, particularly regarding the prevention of cancer, premature aging, and pigmentation changes . Sunscreen is often used to protect the human skin from UV damage, and the most popular index of UV protection efficacy (UVPE) for sunscreen products is the sun protection factor (SPF) value, which is prominently displayed on products offered for sale.…”

“…Therefore, protecting the human skin from UV damage is one of the main issues in dermatology and cosmetology, 1 particularly regarding the prevention of cancer, premature aging, and pigmentation changes. [2][3][4] Sunscreen is often used to protect the human skin from UV damage, and the most popular index of UV protection efficacy (UVPE) for sunscreen products is the sun protection factor (SPF) value, which is prominently displayed on products offered for sale. Because SPF is a ratio calculated from the energies required to induce a minimum erythema response with and without in vivo sunscreen, it certainly shows the protection efficacy for sunburn.…”
