Jakarta, Indonesia. Most people sometimes want to once her skin was white, so many ways done. And do not bother to whitening the skin, because Indonesian people’s skin better able to stand with ultraviolet.

“Indonesian people used to like whitening their skins, whereas pigmentation of the skin color is useful to counteract ultraviolet rays,” says Dr. Nadia Yusaryahya, in the event of a media workshop SpKK Brand’s Bird’s Nest to help keep moisture in the skin of the Shangrila Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday (11/10 / 2011).

Dr Nadia said in the presence of pigmentation and able to withstand ultraviolet light then it could be preventing the occurrence of various diseases such as skin cancer.

Besides the skin color of people living in tropical countries experiencing slower wrinkles compared with whites or Caucasian race, thus often say more youthful.

One that makes your skin tan is the content of melanin in the skin. Melanin has a function also protects the epidermis and dermis of the dangers of ultraviolet radiation.

Although able to counteract ultraviolet rays, one still needs additional time to move out of the room to prevent damage to the skin, one of them by using creams that contain SPF.

“At least use a sunscreen with an SPF 15 for people like us who like a daily activity in and out of the room, but if the work was outside the room then use the SPF was more than 15,” says Dr. Nadia.

While the most common skin problems experienced by women in Indonesia is the emergence of spots and blotches on the face, but rarely experienced by men.

Dr. Nadia explain this because it is known male skin is thicker than the 20 percent of women’s skin and contain more collagen so much harder. These conditions that make skin more resilient than boys with women’s skin.

“Meanwhile, the weakness is the male skin is more oily skin so that the problems most often experienced by men are prone skin,” said the doctor from the Department of Dermatology Health Sciences Faculty of medicine Geriatric division.
