It's not news that the sun can be harmful to the skin and increases the risk of developing skin cancer , but also accelerates the aging process .http://www.a2zbookmarks.com/health/2013/12/14/truth-about-cellulite/
Sometimes recommendations thereon may not be enough, therefore, The New England Journal of Medicine has published a photograph that speaks for itself.
"A picture is worth a thousand words" the saying goes, and so you can see in this photo of a truck driver of 69 years, who received nearly 28 years in the sun on one side of his face.
The authors of photography and responsible for the publication explained that during the long time that this man drove his truck received ultraviolet A (UVA) through the open window of his truck, at least for much of his travels, so that they could well penetrate into layers of the epidermis and upper dermis.

This prolonged and repeated exposure over time causes the thickening of the epidermis and the destruction of elastic fibers , as seen in the photograph in question
The truth is that the incidence of melanoma (skin cancer) increases every year by 10 percent , according to available statistics.
Studies on the incidence of skin cancer 25 years show that newly diagnosed cases of this disease has doubled and even tripled in some areas. Moreover, this trend will continue in the coming decades, according to the Spanish Group for Epidemiology and Prevention of Health in Dermatology.http://www.socialbookmarkiseasy.info/health/2013/12/14/truth-about-cellulite/
Given all this, more than ever we must be extremely careful when out in the sun : not only do it in moments of safer day (very early in the morning, and then later in the afternoon), but do limit and always with sunscreen according to your skin type. Thus, not only will prevent skin cancer but also delayed-or-reducing skin aging.
