But many are still confident that we can escape from the harmful radiation would help them the cream with aloe Vera, applied after sunbathing. In the organization of the British Skin Foundation (UK) claim that this is the most dangerous misconception.

Experts say that reckless thinking that has been damaged by sun burns the skin can be cured by using cosmetic products after tanning. Against DNA mutations caused due to excessive UV irradiation of skin cells, even the most expensive cream is powerless.
