La Roche-Posay Anthelios KA+ SPF50+ 50ml

Long-term exposure to UV rays can damage skin cells and generate solar keratosis (also known as actinic keratosis). Solar keratosis can appear as persistent raised, rough, dry and scaly patches or lesions on areas of the skin with high sun exposure (face, hands, ears, lips, scalp and chest). They can be first signs of skin cancer development and vary in colour from skin colour to red pigmented. Solar keratosis most commonly occurs in those over 40 years old after extensive exposure to UV radiation from the sun e.g outdoor workers. Those with solar keratosis have a five times higher risk of developing a potential skin cancer in their lifetime.*

Solar keratosis can appear as persistent raised, rough, dry and scaly patches or thickened lesions on areas of the skin with high sun/UV ray exposure (face, hands, ears, lips). Many harmful skin cancers can begin as a solar keratosis/actinic keratosis lesion, so it is important to monitor the skin for any changes to moles or lesions by booking a regular full body skin check with a dermatologist or specialist GP.
