You NEED to use Sunscreen! - Doctor explains.

[@malikaturla]

UVA protection is shown by PA(PAA). PA(A)++++ is a very high protection. As was told in the video, UVB protection is measured in SPF factor (15/30/50/50+). I personally prefer a physical sunscreen. Though yes, most give you a white cast ( shade ), you can still find those, without it.

[@plasticusclinic]

Love this video! Great to see a KZbinr raising awareness on sunscreen - especially a doctor. Keep up the great posts.

Hi Aesthetics Kitten, Thank you! Sunscreen is important 👍

[@simk5214]

You cleared up so many questions I had about sunscreen and its spf, thankyou so much this was very informative. I can now protect my skin better

[@queeflover]

great video :) i personally use the bondi sands fragrance free SPF 50 for the face (they have a body one too) and it works great for me as a person with dry skin. bondi sands is also an australian brand of sunscreen, which to me is a big plus because the regulations around SPF in australia are a lot stricter since they receive the strongest sun rays on the earth. some US sunscreens have been reported to have a lower SPF factor than what is advertised, so i refrain from using them unless i’ve done full research on the product i use. i also love the bondi sands because it doesn’t leave a white cast on the face, so it’s perfect for darker complexions as well! the only drawback is that it has chemical UV filters in the active ingredients. that being said however, any sunscreen you use is going to be worth it no matter if it’s mineral, physical, or chemical.

Hi!! Is wearing sunscreen improve sun damage skin? I have not been aware of using it in my childhood life, a reason for sun damage skin. Now i start using it, will it help me?

[@howtomedicate]

Hi Ellvine, The usage of sunscreen will protect you (partly) from possible further damage of the sun to your skin.

[@bahranima110]

How about vitamin D, does sunscreen compromise vitamin D levels?

[@howtomedicate]

Hi Everything, Great question. As far as I know sunscreen does not compromise vitamine D levels. It only blocks UVA and UVB rays.

[@johnyanez4962]

@@howtomedicate I would think that anything that blocks ultraviolet exposure would also prevent your body from making vitamin D. However, since over the counter vitamin D3 supplements are very effective, this is completely moot. I say stay out of the Sun as much as possible, take a vitamin D3 supplement, have your doctor monitor your vitamin D, adjust your dosage as needed and most importantly, use sunscreen with good UVA protection.

[@truthseeker7706]

It does hahahahahaha this guy is deceiving you

[@bgcm1995]

@@johnyanez4962 not exactly. Sunscreen doesn't 100% block all rays, it's just to Minimize exposure, hence you STILL get vitamind d

[@BBTdietist]

I would think.. And correct me if I’m wrong. The vitamin d metabism is stimulated by UVB. So in the winter you could use spf 15 because it will always block UVA but the vitamin d metabolism will be more because a lower spf equals a lower UVB blockage. And In the summer the exposure to UVB is enough and you need the protection against sunburn so use an spf 30 or 50.

How about protecting our eyes from the sun? I never thought about vision issues being caused by the sun and that if you make sure your kids wear proper sunglasses when outside could help.

[@kenchambers7137]

Does sunscreen keep the skin significantly younger ?

[@howtomedicate]

Hi Ken, Sunscreen protects your skin from damaging UV-radiation. This delays "aging" of the skin.

[@MrCJCreativity]

Dr, how to know if product is chemical based? And can sweat and ocean wash the sunscreen away?

[@mohameadasaraf2874]

Which SPF is use to better for skin? SPF50 or SPF90?? Please tell me

[@exoticxrika2770]

What kind of sunscreen do you have to use

[@PinCushionQueen]

Any kind that is broad spectrum or PA++++ -use one that suits your skin issues/needs & particularly one that you’ll actually use & enjoy & reapply.

[@sofiac6911]

I usually buy sunscreen with SPF 70... I have very pale skin and live in a very sunny place. Is 50+ enough?

i really love freckles and when i get sun burned i get freckles. if i wear sunscreen, will it still give me those mini freckles or that cute sun burned look?

[@CaileyDawn]

Look up “freckle makeup” or “faux freckles.” There are products on the marks that make freckles look realistic and you don’t need to sacrifice your skin to get the look.

[@laurenfoote3212]

Everyone's different but I actually get MORE freckles when I wear sunscreen than when I forget sunscreen!

[@lambsauce8937]

freckles are sun damage

[@julijaj6180]

Should you use after sun sunscreen or sunscreen to protect from the sun?

[@eksteinmalan3517]

Sunscreen to protect. After sun is only a relief for burned skin.

It's worth mentioning five things here: 1) non-burning UV exposure is critical to the proper function and development of the human body. People who chronically get insufficient non-burning UV exposure are at higher risk for obesity, metabolic syndrome, type I diabetes, type II diabetes, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, asthma, allergies, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, schizophrenia, statin intolerance, macular degeneration and myopia and have higher all-cause mortality rates than people who get sufficient non-burning UV exposure. Chronically insufficient non-burning UV exposure also makes one more susceptible to a wide range of infectious diseases. 2) There is no consistent evidence demonstrating that using sunscreens lowers one's risk of getting skin cancer. In fact, evidence suggests the opposite may be the case. 3) All active ingredients used in sunscreens have safety issues. Many of them are suspected carcinogens, many others are endocrine disruptors and some of them are both. Scientific studies have found that these chemicals are absorbed into the body and are detectable in the blood within minutes after sunscreen is applied to the skin. 4) Excessive use of sunscreen can lead to vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency and chronic insufficient UV exposure, along with the increased risk of the above mentioned health problems. 5) Malignant melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, is one of the easiest forms of cancer to diagnose and cure. It currently has a survival rate of 92%. All of the forms of cancer associated with chronic UV underexposure are more deadly than malignant melanoma. Most people in the developed world are now chronically UV underexposed, and it is the cause of a major public health problem.

Does homosalate, Octycrylene and octisalate go together with Uvinal A and Tinosorb M? I ask because I put a tinted spf over a Korean PA+++ and I don’t want to affect the effectiveness. I ask because I use the Korean sunscreen Beauty of Joseon and then I put IT cosmetics cc cream, SPF 40 over the top.

I've never used sunscreen and never will. If you notice when you're told to use sunscreen doctors and others tell you to use one with the highest factor number. They must be on a commission as the one they suggest is the highest factor therefor the most expensive.
