Impilo kunye nokuphila kakuhle kuchaphazela ngamnye wethu ngokwahlukileyo. Eli libali lomntu omnye.

"Ookhokho bakho babehlala emhadini," utshilo ugqirha wesikhumba, ngaphandle kokuhlekisa.

Ndaye ndalala ze ngokupheleleyo ngomqolo wam ngokuchasene netafile ebandayo yovavanyo lwentsimbi. Ubambe elinye lamaqatha am ngezandla zozibini, ejonge kufutshane kwimolekyulu kumathole am.

Ndandineminyaka engama-23 kwaye ndandisandul 'ukuhamba uhambo lweenyanga ezintathu eNicaragua apho ndandisebenza njengomqeqeshi we-surf. Bendilumkile elangeni kodwa ndabuya ndabuya ndanemigca ye-tan eqinileyo, umzimba wam ojijekileyo ungekho kufutshane nepallor yawo yesiqhelo.

Ekupheleni kokuqeshwa, emva kokuba ndiyilungisile, wandijonga ngovelwano nangomsindo. "Ulusu lwakho alunakukwazi ukujongana nesixa selanga osityhilela lona," utshilo.

Andikhumbuli endikuthethileyo, kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba yayinomsindo wokuzikhukhumeza kolutsha. Ndikhulele kwi-surfing, ndingene kwinkcubeko. Ukuba tan yayiyinxalenye yobomi.

Ngaloo mini, ndandinenkani kakhulu ukuba ndivume ukuba ubudlelwane bam nelanga babunzima kakhulu.Kodwa ndandisecaleni kwenguqu enkulu kwingqondo yam. Nge-23, ekugqibeleni ndandiqala ukuqonda ukuba ndim ndedwa onoxanduva kwimpilo yam.

Yeyiphi eyona nto indikhokelele ekubhukishweni kwesi sigulo sele sikhankanyiwe kunye nogqirha wesikhumba ukuba ndivavanywe ngee moles ezininzi-eyokuqala ebomini bam. Kwaye kwiminyaka emine ukusukela, nditshintshile - ngokungazondeleli ngamanye amaxesha, ndiya kuvuma - kwisikhumba esihlaziywe ngokupheleleyo.

Ndandinomkhwa wokulukhupha ulusu ngenxa yokunqongophala kwemfundo, kodwa yaqhubeka ngenxa yokuthintela okunenkani, ukuba ayikhatywa ngaphandle, yezibakala ezisekwe kubungqina. Ke le iya kubo bonke abo banenzondelelo yempambano abangenakuwuyeka umkhwa. Ugqibele nini ukuzibuza: Ngaba kufanelekile ukuba ube semngciphekweni?

Ukukhula kwam, ndalinganisa ubhedu kunye nobuhle

Ndikhule ndintsuba ecaleni kwabazali bam abathenga kwingcinga yentengiso eninzi ukuba akukho buhle ngaphandle kobhedu.

Njengoko ilivo lihamba, ngeminyaka ye-1920 icon icon uCoco Chanel wabuya kuhambo lwaselwandle lweMeditera nge-tan emnyama wathumela inkcubeko ye-pop, eyayisoloko ixabisa kakhulu umbala omdaka. Kwaye ukuthanda kwempucuko yaseNtshona nge-tan kwazalwa.

Ngama-50s no-60s, inkcubeko ye-surf yahamba ngokubanzi kwaye i-tan hype yagqithisa ngakumbi. Kwakungekuhle kuphela ukuba yi-tan, kwakuyi-ode emzimbeni kunye nomngeni kwi-conservatism. Kwaye uMazantsi eCalifornia, ikhaya langaphambili kubazali bam bobabini, yayingumhlaba ongathethekiyo.

Utata wam waphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo ngaphandle kweLos Angeles ngo-1971, kwakuloo nyaka uMalibu Barbie owenziwe ubhedu, walungela ulwandle enxibe isuti yokuhlamba kunye nezibuko zelanga. Kwaye umama wam uchithe ixesha lasehlotyeni njengomntu oselula ofikisayo ejikeleze iVenice Beach.

Ukuba basebenzise i-sunscreen okanye bathathe amanyathelo okhuseleko ngezo ntsuku, kwakwanele ukunqanda ukutshiswa okunzima- kuba ndizibonile iifoto, kwaye imizimba yabo ikhazimla ngobhedu.

Nangona kunjalo, ukutyeba ngesikhumba esimnyama akuphelanga kwisizukulwana somzali wam. Ngeendlela ezininzi, kuye kwanda ngakumbi. Ukubonakala kwebronzi kwahlala kudumile ngee-90s nakwii-2000s zakuqala, kwaye itekhnoloji yokutshuka ibonakala ngathi iya phambili. Ndiyabulela kwiibhedi zokususa, bekungafuneki nokuba uhlale kufutshane nolwandle.

Ngo-2007, E! ikhuphe i-Sunset Tan, umboniso wenyani ojolise kwindawo yokucheba i-LA. Kumaphephancwadi e-surf endiwadlileyo njengomntu ofikisayo, lonke iphepha lalibonisa imodeli eyahlukileyo- nangona yayiCaucasus -imodeli enebala elimdaka, elingenakuthelekiswa nanto.

Ke nam, ndaye ndafunda ukukuhlonela oko kukhanya kuphuzwe lilanga. Ndiyithandile indlela xa ulusu lwam lumnyama, iinwele zam zibonakala ngathi zi blonder. Xa ndandimnyama, umzimba wam wade wavela ngakumbi.

Ndichukumisa umama wam, bendizolala eyadini yethu iphambili ilungisa intloko-to-toe kwioyile yomnquma, ulusu lwam lweAnglo-Saxon lutshona okweguppy kwiskillet. Amaxesha amaninzi, ndandingayonwabisi. Kodwa ndinyamezele ukubila nokudinwa ukufumana iziphumo.

Intsomi yokushuka okukhuselekileyo

Ndomeleza le ndlela yokuphila ngokunamathela kumgaqo osisikhokelo: ndandikhuselekile logama nje ndingatshiswanga. Umhlaza wolusu, ndikholelwa ekubeni, unokuthintelwa lo gama nje ndisheyina ngokumodareyitha.

UGqirha Rita Linkner ngugqirha wesikhumba eStreet Street Dermatology kwisiXeko saseNew York. Xa kufikwa ekusukeni, akathandabuzi.

Uthi: "Akukho ndlela ikhuselekileyo."

Ucacisa ukuba ngenxa yokonakala kwelanga kuyenyuka, yonke into elangeni xa ulusu lwethu lufumana lonyusa umngcipheko womhlaza wolusu.

Uthi: "Xa ukukhanya kwe-UV kubetha eluswini kudala izinto zasimahla," utshilo. “Ukuba uqokelela iiradical radical ezaneleyo, ziyaqala ukuchaphazela indlela iDNA ephindaphindeka ngayo. Ekugqibeleni, iDNA izakuphindaphindeka ngokungaqhelekanga kwaye yiyo loo nto ufumana iiseli ezingenaxhala ezinokuthi, xa ilanga lanele, zibe ziiseli ezinomhlaza. ”

Akululanga kum ukuba ndiyivume ngoku, kodwa esinye sezizathu endisoloko ndiziguqula ndakuba mdala kungenxa yokuba kude kube yiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo ndigcina ukuthandabuza - okushiyekileyo ekukhuleni kwindalo yendalo-kuphela kumzi - kunyango lwangoku.

Ngokusisiseko, bendingafuni ukuyeka ukushuka. Ke ndaye ndakhulisa ukungathembeki okungacacanga, endandingaziva ukuba inzululwazi yenze umhlaba olungele mna ngcono-ilizwe apho ukushuka kwakungekubi kangako.

Uhambo lwam lokwamkela ngokupheleleyo amayeza anamhlanje libali elahlukileyo, kodwa yayikukutshintsha kokucinga okwabangela ukuba ndivuke ekugqibeleni malunga nomdlavuza wolusu. Iinkcukacha-manani zisothusa kakhulu ukuba ungaziphepha.

Thatha umzekelo, ukuba abantu abangama-9,500 base-US bafunyaniswe benomhlaza wolusu yonke imihla. Abantu abamalunga ne-3.5 yezigidi ngonyaka. Ngapha koko, abantu abaninzi bafunyaniswe benomhlaza wolusu kunayo yonke eminye imihlaza edityanisiweyo kwaye phantse iipesenti ezingama-90 zayo yonke imihlaza yolusu ibangelwa kukungabikho kwelanga.

Ngelixa iindlela ezininzi zomhlaza wolusu zinokuthintelwa ngongenelelo lwakwangoko, ii-akhawunti ze-melanoma zokufa kwabantu abayi-20 ngemini e-United States. "Kuzo zonke iintlobo ezibulalayo zomhlaza, i-melanoma iphezulu kuloluhlu," kusho u-Linkner.

Xa ndifunda uluhlu lwezinto ezinobungozi zokukhula komhlaza wolusu, ndiyakwazi ukukhangela uninzi lweebhokisi: amehlo aluhlaza kunye neenwele ezimhlophe, imbali yokutshiswa lilanga, uninzi lweemowuli.

Ngelixa abantu baseCaucasus benomngcipheko ophezulu wokuphuhlisa zonke iintlobo zomhlaza wolusu, banelona zinga liphezulu lokusinda. Ngokomnye uphando, abantu baseAfrika baseMelika babeza kufumana ukuxilongwa kwe-melanoma emva kokuba iqhubekele kwisigaba esongela ubomi. Kubalulekile ukuba ngaphandle kobuhlanga okanye i-phenotype umzimba wakho uhlolwe rhoqo (u-Linkner ucebisa kanye ngonyaka) ukukhula kwangaphambili kunye nomhlaza.

Kum, mhlawumbi owona mzekelo woyikisayo ngowokuba kanye ukutshiswa lilanga njengomntwana okanye okwishumi elivisayo. Isihlanu okanye ngaphezulu ngaphambi kweminyaka engama-20 kwaye ungamaxesha angama-80 emngciphekweni.

Ngokwenyani andinakutsho ukuba zingaphi i-blisting sunburns endizifumene njengomntwana kodwa kuninzi kakhulu kunenye.

Amaxesha amaninzi, olu lwazi lunokundongamela. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, andinakwenza nto malunga nokhetho endingalwenziyo endalwenza njengomntu oselula. U-Linkner uyandiqinisekisa, nangona kunjalo, ukuba akuphelanga kakhulu ukuguqula izinto.

"Ukuba uqala ukulungisa imikhwa [yokhathalelo lolusu], nokuba uneminyaka engama-30, ungalinciphisa ithuba lokufumana umhlaza wolusu ebudaleni," utshilo.

Ke siyilungisa njani loo mikhwa? Umthetho wegolide # 1: Nxiba i-sunscreen yonke imihla

"Kuxhomekeka ekubeni loluphi uhlobo lolusu lwakho, indawo emnandi iphakathi kwe-30 kunye ne-50 ye-SPF," utshilo uLinkner. "Ukuba unamehlo aluhlaza, iinwele ezimhlophe, kwaye ucocekile, hamba ne-50 SPF. Kwaye, ngokufanelekileyo, ubeka imizuzu eli-15 ngaphambi kokuba ilanga litshone. ”

Ukwacebisa ukuba kusetyenziswe i-block block yelanga-iimveliso apho isithako esisebenzayo nokuba yi-zinc oxide okanye i-titanium dioxide-ngaphezulu kwe-sunscreen yeekhemikhali.

"[Iibhloko zomzimba] ziyindlela yokubonakalisa ngokupheleleyo ukukhanya kwe-UV kumphezulu wolusu ngokuchasene nokuyifaka esikhumbeni, utshilo. "Kwaye ukuba uthambekele ekuthambekeni komzimba okanye une-eczema ungcono kakhulu xa usebenzisa iibhloksi zomzimba."

Ukongeza ekusebenziseni i-sunscreen yemihla ngemihla, ndiye ndanomdla wokunxiba iminqwazi.

Njengomntwana ndandiyenyanya iminqwazi kuba umama wayehlala efaka into enomthi entloko. Kodwa njengomntu osandul 'ukwazi ilanga, ndiye ndalihlonipha ixabiso lomnqwazi olungileyo. Ndiziva ndikhuselekile ngakumbi, nokuba ndinxibe i-sunscreen, ndisazi ukuba ubuso bam bukhuselekile elangeni.

Urhulumente wase-Australia udwelise ukunxiba umnqwazi obanzi njengeyona nto ibalulekileyo yokuthintela ukubekwa elangeni. (Nangona, bagxininisa isidingo sokunxiba i-sunscreen njengoko ulusu lusabamba ukukhanya okungathanga ngqo kwelanga.)

Ngoku ndibona ukukhuselwa kolusu njengendlela yokuhlonipha umzimba wam

Ngezo ntsuku zinqabileyo xa ndingena ngaphandle kwaye ndingenawo umnqwazi okanye i-sunscreen, ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyavuka ngosuku olulandelayo ndizijonge esipilini ndicinge “Kutheni ndikhangeleka ndilunge kangaka namhlanje?” Emva koko ndiyaqonda: Owu, ndimnyama.

Khange ndilahlekelwe bubuhle bam okanye umbono-ongcono we-tanner kuloo meko. Ndiza kuhlala ndikhetha indlela endijongeka ngayo xa ndinobhedu oluncinci.

Kodwa kum, inxenye yokugqitha kwinqanaba lokufikisa-ingqondo enokuthi ihlale ixesha elide kuneminyaka eyiyo-ithatha indlela engacacanga kunye nengqiqo kwimpilo yam.

Isenokuba andinalo ulwazi oluchanekileyo njengomntwana, kodwa ndinayo ngoku. Kwaye ngokunyaniseka, kukho into enika amandla ngokunzulu malunga nokuthatha inyathelo ukuze wenze utshintsho olululo ebomini bam. Ndiyathanda ukuyicinga njengendlela yokuhlonipha ithamsanqa elingenakubonwa lokuba ndisaphila konke konke.
