Behoeden voor huidkanker

5 Tips om jou en je familie te behouden voor huidkanker

1. Geniet van de zon maar zorg dat je nooit verbrandt

Te veel UV-straling is de bekendste risicofactor voor huidkanker. Elke keer als je huid verbrandt, beschadigt je DNA onherstelbaar. Hoe vaker je verbrandt, hoe groter het risico op huidkanker.

2. Smeer onbedekte huid herhaaldelijk in met antizonnebrand crème

Ook als je snel bruint is het advies om zonnebrandcrème te blijven smeren, sneller de schaduw op te zoeken of beschermende kleding te dragen. Een bruine huid geeft aan dat je zonschade hebt opgelopen en biedt relatief weinig bescherming. 

3. Kleding, pet of zonnehoed bieden de beste bescherming tegen de zon 

Kleding beschermt beter dan zonnebrand, maar UV-straling dringt ook door textiel heen. Om er zeker van te zijn dat je kleding voldoende bescherming biedt, kun je kijken of de UV-beschermingsfactor UPF 30 of de UV-standaard 80 op het etiket staat.

4. Zoek tussen 11.00 en 15.00 de schaduw op en ga niet in de zon 

Controleer op internet met welke zonkracht je te maken krijgt. Vooral in (sub)tropische landen waar de uv-straling veel sterker is dan in Nederland. 

5. Vermijd de zonnebank

Onder de zonnebank wordt je huid in een korte tijd blootgesteld aan een hoge dosis uv-straling. De Nederlandse Vereniging van Dermatologie en Venerologie ontraadt daarom het gebruik van de zonnebank voor bruining.Vooral een kinderhuid is erg gevoelig voor zonneschade. Het is daarom belangrijk jezelf, maar ook je kind goed te beschermen. Een kind dat verbrandt, heeft later een grotere kans op huidkanker.

Daarom hier 4 extra tips over het beschermen van je kind.

  1. Maak insmeren een ochtendritueel door de zonnebrand naast de tandpasta te zetten
  2. Geef zelf het goede voorbeeld, smeer je in waar de kinderen bij zijn
  3. Smeer je kinderen in voor ze hun kleding aantrekken. Zo vergeet je geen randjes of plekken die half onder de kleding verdwijnen. 
  4. Betrek je kinderen bij het insmeren en maak er een spelletje van.
