* the groups at greatest risk are those belonging to phototype I and II. The smaller the skin phototype, the greater the care with the sun should be, since the skin is more sensitive. In any case, although the tolerance to sun exposure is different, it is important that all skin types are protected. To check your skin type, consult a specialized doctor. The foregoing does not preclude medical evaluation.
* time until the skin turns red without any protection.
