JAKARTA In the past few days, a video circulated showing skincare and make-up products collected and damaged by a number of students. In his statement, it was written that the skincare was the result of a raid by the OSIS oleg or the School Intra Student Organization.

The video immediately became the talk of netizens. In addition to the matter of waste because it damages products that can actually still be used, the pros and cons that netizens also discuss are the question of whether skincare products are needed in schools.

On the one hand, skincare products are considered to have nothing to do with teaching and learning activities, but on the other hand, skincare products are considered important to maintain skin health.

One of the netizens who regretted the skincare raid at school, dr. Danial Hendrik. Through uploads on his Instagram account, Danial suggested that schools can distinguish make-up and skincare, distinguishing which ones function to beautify and which products are indeed to maintain health.

"Okay, for many reasons, you can stay up, but why is the skincare like a facewash and sunscreen confiscated too? Even destroyed," wrote Danial.

"When I go to school, I often bring facial soap, usually when I'm sleepy or after washing my face with very fresh face soap," he added.

Raziasunscreen, let alone damaging by cutting the packaging and removing the contents, has attracted the attention of many people. This action raises the conclusion that there are still many people who do not understand the importance of using sunscreen to maintain skin health.

"On the other hand, there may be outdoor activities, which are best to wear sunscreen to protect the skin from the light of the sun that emits UV light, especially if it is hot, it really helps to health the skin," wrote Danial again.

"It's better to have a further review of this rule," wrote Danial closing his upload.

The importance of using sunscreen or sunscreen is increasingly being echoed in the past few years. Sunscreen is not only recommended to be used for adolescents and adults, but starting from babies aged six months.

The incessant appeal for the use of sunscreen from an early age cannot be separated from the current global weather. The hot temperature, especially in Indonesia, makes the use of sunscreen absolutely necessary.

The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in October 2023 recorded extreme hot weather in a number of parts of Indonesia. In West Java and Central Java, the temperature can even touch 38 degrees Celsius. BMKG said the cloud growth rate was minimal so that the weather could be very hot during the day.

At that time, a number of dermatologists and genitals reminded the importance of the role of sunscreen to protect the skin from exposure to the sun.

Exposure to sunlight can cause various skin problems, ranging from wrinkled skin, black spots, to skin cancer. Unfortunately, there are still many people who ignore the importance of using sunscreen. Even though ignoring the use of sunscreen can pose a serious danger to skin health.

According toHealthcare, ignoring the use of sunscreen can have an impact on several things, including premature aging, skin damage, triggering new lesions on several kinds of skin diseases, and less than optimal results on skin treatment.

'Sunlight exposure without protection from sunscreen continuously can damage collagen on the skin,' citingHealthcare.

"This can cause the skin to appear wrinkled, dull can even occur at a young age because it ignores the regular use of sunscreen. For this reason, the use of sunscreen as a prevention of premature aging is very important," he added.

One of the impacts of ignoring the use of sunscreen is that it has the potential to trigger skin cancer. Indonesia Cancer Care Community (ICCC) says that skin cancer is included in 15 cancers that are common in Indonesia.

Some people have a higher risk of contracting skin cancer than others, but anyone can catch skin cancer. The cause of skin cancer that we can prevent is excess ultraviolet (UV) exposure, both from the sun and from artificial sources such as scanning beds.

There were around 6,170 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and 1,392 cases of melanoma skin cancer in 2018.

Therefore, protection against UV radiation is very important every time, not only when the sun is hot or only when on the beach. Using sunscreen can help reduce the risk of UV light hazards.

"The solar UV light is very strong, and only 15 minutes in the room is enough to cause damage and has the potential for long-term skin cancer," said Jessica NIkkit, MD, a certified dermatologist, citingHealthcare.

Badminton says cancer caused by sun exposure can become aggressive and fatal if not treated. But prevention is the best medicine.

"Implementing sunscreen on the face, chest, ears, hands and arms every day is recommended to prevent long-term damage from sunlight," said korot again.

Using sunscreen is one of the best and easiest ways to protect the appearance and health of the skin at any age. Regularly using sunscreen can also help avoid burned skin, premature aging, and even skin cancer.

Therefore, it is very unfortunate when there are people who are consciously and deliberately abuse and even damage skincare products, including sunscreen, even though they have a big impact on skin health.
