| Resumo: | The oxidative stress is a direct consequence of the necessary consumption of oxygen by the living aerobic organisms, and its intensity and consequences depend on the capacity of specific defence systems to counteract the generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), among which the most relevant are the oxygen free radicals (OFR). Numerous circumstances, physiological or pathological, can increase the production of OFR and, therefore, increase the oxidative stress. Among them there is the UV radiation (UVR), to which we are all exposed with greater or smaller intensity and frequency. Exposition to UVR cause numerous cutaneous alterations, included the skin cancer. The progressive increase of this type of cancer in the last decades provoke a great social and sanitary concern; in consequence all the aspects related to photoprotection are object of investigation from different points of view: physical, chemical, biological and sanitary. In this sense, there is no doubt that at the present we have very valuable information about the risks of the exposition to the UVR and, at the same time, there are very efficient sunscreens, which are developed with advanced scientific criteria. Nevertheless, and in spite of the fact that the consumption of sunscreens increases day by day, the incidence of skin cancer increases continuously. With this work we intend to point out the false sensation of security that can be derived from the incorrect use of sunscreens and the need of a depth revision about some of the concepts which photoprotecction is based. Consequently, in the development of experimental protocols, we irradiated groups of animals (hairless rats) in the following way: acute radiations, chronic radiations and radiations with sunscreens.
