Do I NEED to RE-APPLY sunscreen when INDOORS? | Dr Gaile Robredo-Vitas

[@NusratJAHAN1981]

Reapplying sunscreen every two hours, not just when out but also indoor, is insane. Not only does it cost a lot, but is also very impractical. But this was suggested by number of dermatologists on KZbin. Thank you for informative video. I want to take care of my skin but don't want my life to revolve around it. I don't think that's healthy.

[@irenegaile]

I agree with you :)

[@felixalexios]

Which doctors recommend doing it every 2 hours indoors? That doesn't sound right haha. You sure you didn't misunderstand anything?

[@unityaboriginelove6595]

She's right. I've been researching info about proper sunscreen use online, and EVERYONE says to use 3x more than she recommends and to reapply every 2-3hrs. I was honestly about to give up on sunscreen all together until I saw this video.@@felixalexios What an honest and HELPFUL video!

Thank you so much for this informative video! As a student it is impossible to justify reapplication every 2 hrs when you're inside most of the day. It is expensive, and a real inconvenience when you are trying to focus on studying. This puts my mind at ease. And, I learned something new about how sunscreen works!

Thank you so much for this video, and for doing all the research you did! This was something I was wondering about (and actually stressing over) since I started working from home. My kitchen gets a lot of sun and I had low level anxiety about going in there mid day when the sun is blasting through the glass door. I finally bought blackout curtains for that room and from the information I got in this video, I think between applying adequate sunscreen in the morning and keeping the curtains closed when I'm in there during the sunniest parts of the day, I should be fine.

[@reveurimadreamer5035]

Thank you so much for this video. I stay home most of the time due to the pandemic so it's good to know that I don't have to reapply them every 3 hours. I'm a student so in case I go back to school, reapply after 2 or 3 hours somehow annoys me a bit. I have to go to the bathroom where tons of girls gossiping and asking nonstop why I use sunscreen so much. I don't hate using sunscreen but I just don't like how the girls or boys at sometimes keep asking questions. Also, does sitting next to the window reduce the effect of sunscreen? My classmates always pull the curtain so I am exposed to the sunlight for the whole morning.

[@irenegaile]

In my opinion, ok lng to wash the face more than 2x a day basta using gentle cleanser especially in instances wherein pinag pawisan ka talaga or nadumihan ung face mo.

It depends if you sweat in between, if your masks rub off on the skin and if you are mainly indoors or outdoors. There is no harm in reapplying in between just to be sure. It;s very personalized. I, for instance, apply once at the start of my work (11am) and I dont reapply anymore, I get off from work at 6/7pm.

Doc i'm your new subsriber. 😚 I have a question is it okay to apply ice twice a day? Day and before you sleep?

[@irenegaile]

It's not something that I recommend as part of a normal daily routine. I advice my patients to ice after a resurfacing procedure or any other procedure that would benefit from icing to minimize inflammation. May I know what you are doing it for? :)

[@irenegaile]

Thank you for the support! Not all sunscreens are tinted, tinted sunscreens contain iron oxides that give added protection from visible light :) I recommend tinted sunscreens to those with darker skin types and those with existing pigmentation.
