[@LiahYoo]

Wish the FDA can hire you as an external consultant!

[@DrDrayzday]

I am hopeful some of these changes will come to fruition

[@TrappedQue]

In my opinion, the FDA is the most corrupted governmental agency. I have a hard time believing in their data.

[@CaribbeanQueen72xx]

Liah Yoo that’s an awesome idea . They’d be lucky to have her because she’s genuine .

[@hauntedbarbiedoll]

To true lol I am a consultant and I'm taking notes 🖤 wonderful job as always Dr. Dray :)

[@TheKat817]

I hope sunscreens become more transparent in their UVA protection too. Thanks for keeping me company on my lunch break. :)

[@beckyc.5743]

I was hoping you were going to say that the FDA was approving more UVA filters. Perhaps the decision to reevaluate sunscreen ingredients will open up a discussion about approving more filters in the US.

[@DrDrayzday]

lets hope

[@SusanSlattery]

Yes, let's hope!

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

I really love that they are putting an spf 50 cap. It drives me bonkers seeing so many people use a pea size of spf because they claim it has higher spf and/or "blends well". Eeek! I personally think physical sunscreen is far better (for me at least) than chemical spf and I can rub it all over my eyes without any burning. There are plenty of elegant physical spf's out there that don't leave a white cast. But it has taken me years to test and discover my faves. Unfortunately there are too many that do leave a white cast so I think people just give up. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video!

[@cv3083]

To be fair, you appear to be a Caucasian woman in the light to medium skin tone range. As someone who is not... I have yet to find an exclusively physical sunscreen that does not leave some sort of white cast (even with foundation topped over it). Its not really an issue of not trying or giving up too easily...

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

@@cv3083 great comment. I'm medium to tan...hard to see in my photo. You are so right. My hubby is latin and lots darker than me but I test a lot on him too. Well it's my way of tricking him into wearing spf. Lol I prefer tinted ones on him. Some of the tinted physical spf's that look great on his darker skin are skinmedica essential defense tinted and Peter Thomas Roth max mineral tinted. Thanks!

[@SusanSlattery]

I can rub Shaka Fluid from La Roche Posay up under my eyes, and on my eyelids. SPF 50 PPD 46. All chemicals, eye safe. LOVE this new formulation from La Roche Posay. If the FDA just gave up and threw sunscreen into cosmetic land, this Shaka Fluid would be available to us in the U.S. as cheaply as it is available in French pharmacies where it is called the "BUDGET SUNSCREEN". Shame on the FDA for throwing all the expense of testing + proof to L'Oreal/La Roche Posay. From their perspective, they must think we're third world. They make the best sunscreen in the world, but the U.S. bound formulations are loaded with Oxybenzone.

[@michellekelly2937]

Graceful Beauty - I've been trying to find a mineral SPF that doesn't irritate my easily irritated eyes. Perhaps you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't have a sensitive eye issue. Are you able to put any mineral sunscreen around your eyes with no irritation? Is there one you could recommend I try, preferably something moisturizing. (I have fair skin, so I don't care if it's tinted.) Thank-you!

[@GracefulBeautyWithSheri]

@@michellekelly2937 I have major issues with spf irritating my eyes...it sure can be frustrating finding the right one. Even some mineral spf's irritate my eyes. I am enjoying a few that don't irritate my eyes personally. Paula's choice new moisturizing glow spf is one I wear a lot and leaves a pretty glow, Skin Medica Essential Defense tinted and Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral are 2 of my faves for dry skin and they are lightly tinted. I do sometimes like the Australian Gold spf that someone mentioned in one of the comments but I don't think you would like it with dry skin and/or sensitive skin. Unfortunately my faves are a little pricey, compared to some drugstore ones, but I try to buy when Dermstore has 20-25% off and ebates has 12% cash back. The SkinMedica one is probably my favorite when my skin feels dry and is irritated. I rub it all over over my eyelids and right up under my lashes and I never have irritation but of course check with your dr or dermatologist what's best for you. Hope you find one you love. 😘

[@lilajane3]

I wish facial sunscreens came in larger bottles. The 40-50 ml bottles do not last very long if you are applying the proper amounts to the face.

[@jskirkai]

Altruist sunscreen does.Amazon uk

[@sabbycat3848]

Altruist is awesome. I use it on my clients after facials and they love it. It's my go to as well and saves my fair Irish skin in the south Florida sun.

[@Haley_Wozniak]

Yes, altruist is the best. The one litre saves me some cash.

[@lilajane3]

Does Altruist have a matte finish?

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah the banana boat simply protect and the no-ad sport are some of the largery bottles of spf you can find in the store...online you can buy the chemical sunscreen rocky mountain sunscreen in a large pump (when i lived in colorado this brand always was present at outdoor events and would have their pumps out for people to reapply) amzn.to/2NveQx0

[@nellsgirl]

I do, so much, appreciate that you apply and re-apply sunscreen on camera for us. It's something most of us guess at, and having a dermatologist demonstrate the proper way is such valuable teaching!! Thank you! :)

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for watching!

[@Holy_ShihTzu]

YES younger and younger people are developing skin cancer! I wear sunscreen every day thanks to your videos but unfortunately at age 27 I have developed a lesion on the waterline of my eyelid from sun exposure. I now am seeing an opthamologist for treatment because it is malignant and growing!! I do wear sunglasses but some light gets in regardless and you can't put SPF on the waterline of eyelid. Anyways, let this be anecdotal confirmation of Dr. Dray's message that YOUNG PEOPLE can and do get skin cancer and it's important to do what we can to prevent sun damage at all stages of life. Stay safe and SPF'd!!

[@heatherjane910]

Leah Lopes I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this!

[@Holy_ShihTzu]

@@heatherjane910 Thank you ♡ it was caught by my optician during a routine eye exam and I had noticed it when doing eye makeup but it hadn't occurred to me that it could be something bad. It is still fairly small so hopefully everything will go smoothly in terms of removal and recovery. Just hoping my experience can help encourage others to realize the benefits of sun protection and regular eye exams. 👍

[@b.j.7837]

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you're able to get it taken care of quickly and completely. I will be passing your story on to my young daughter.

Dear klairs soft airy uv essence uses uvinul A plus I just hate that it’s not water proof or sweat proof :/

Dr.dray, you definitely showed/taught me how to use and put on sunscreen. I never thought about making it an everyday thing but now I apply it everyday and skip the makeup. Thank you for the video

[@NilesGilmore]

It's about time the FDA made some changes to sunscreen regulations lol. Happy Monday, and great video :)!

[@DrDrayzday]

agree

[@Patti-1962]

Dr. Dray takes on the world... spreading the news about wearing sunscreens. BRAVO!!! I have mentioned this before, but my huband lost part of his lip to skin cancer. He was only 37 when it happened.(20 years ago) He is very fair skinned and he doesn't remember ever wearing sunscreen when he was growing up. Especially on his lips. Don't forget suncreen lip balms!!! The plastic surgeon did a fantastic job, taking tissue from the inside of his mouth. THANK YOU, DR. DRAY!!

[@barbilove1698]

No one did. If he is 57, there were no sunscreens when he grew up. Lifeguards wore zinc oxide i think, but average folk did not

[@DrDrayzday]

I am sorry to hear your husband had to go through that, it is a very common area and the post-operative recovery can be very difficult.

Thank you for doing this! Some of the beauty community were coming down on chemical Spf. Had me afraid to stop using them. I had skin cancer last year and it’s really important to me. I Prefer chemical cuz I am acne prone. And white cast is no fun !

[@sharischmidt4712]

Your care and concern today shines through! Thank you. You have become my only go-to source for reliable information on skin care products.

Excellent video. I live on the Colorado plains, high elevation. I reapply almost hourly when working outside. All seasons. Doesn't matter if I am cleaning my bird barn, or doing something with my animals outside, I am sunscreened, and yes, I wear a hat. Usually gets stolen by my obnoxious crippled llama, but, I do wear a hat!!!

And I really do hope that the FDA can make people less afraid of using chemical sunscreens. I posted a pic of myself on Facebook reapplying sunblock at work as a kind of PSA and someone was like BUT SUNSCREEN IS TOXIC THO 🙄🤦‍♀️😔 I just couldn’t. It made me so mad, and it was so hard to convince her otherwise. It was impossible! You are awesome for persevering despite the misinformation!

Happy Monday, Dr. Dray!! edit: I lost a fair-skinned teammate (track team) to melanoma..what a horrible way to go...he was only age 23. IIRC, he was diagnosed at age 22 with stage III, so he only lived about a year-and-a-half. It metastasized and went to his brain. Sunscreen up, people!

[@Sixkidlets68]

Sunscreen needs to be covered by insurance and free for the most part. If it were it would be used more. They also need to okay some of the other ingredients that are less irritating. The biore is the best!

[@DrDrayzday]

yep, agree....you can use FSA for it though

[@Haley_Wozniak]

Yes! it's a necessity not a luxury.

[@heidinichole4680]

Dr Dray we have FSA!! Omg didn’t know! My next bottle of Elta md is going on my card!

[@Sixkidlets68]

Dr Dray yes, but with a large family we blow through the new lowered amount 😡

[@jessicapowell4556]

Thats such an great/ interesting point about insurance. I take for granted what I can buy but didnt think about it not being obtainable for someone less fortunate. We often don't think of it as a necessary item like a med but it really is the same.

[@lilstarletscarlet28]

Thank you Dr. Dray. I now wear spf every single day. Before that I was relying on spf on my makeup primers. I am very fair and wear makeup daily. Since I started wearing spf people I’ve been commenting on healthy my skin looks because of the dewy finish. I can see pores and my makeup doesn’t last as long but protecting my skin is way more important than vanity. ❤️

[@Jane-tf1dn]

I'm really looking forward to hearing about what you learned at AAD! Hopefully, plenty of insight into improvements to our sunscreen options!

[@netgal5817]

Hi Dr. Dray ! La Roche Posay sunscreen sold here in Canada are made in France. Thanks for letting us know about the FDA changes. Thank you. 😀😘🇨🇦

[@MsSonali1980]

Isn't La Roche Posay always made in France? I thought the difference lies in the ingredients per country they try to sell. It's like the Neutrogena Aqua Range, we here in Germany have different ingredients than the US ones. I guess that goes for La Roche vice versa. Don't know how the Canadian regulations for sunscreen are.

[@moderntraditional8540]

Net Gal I’m a fellow Canadian and have been using the tinted mineral sunscreen for face which is a great product to layer on regular sunscreen, but my question to you as well as dr grey is if titanium oxide alone protects both UVA 1 & 2? It doesn’t have any zinc oxide

[@netgal5817]

Modern Traditional Hi ! I am using the ultra fluid lotion (untinted) with spf 60 for sensitive face. It contains mexoryl which a uva filter that stabilizes the avobenzone. I am not certain though about the efficacy of this sunscreen in the absence of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.. Dr. Dray can answer your question. She discusses meroxyl extensively in her review of another Canadian sunscreen Garnier Ombrelle spf30. Thank you. 😀😘🇨🇦

[@netgal5817]

Thank you for admonishing the media. Having an open communication policy, when it comes to FDA vital to all Americans . A sun smart country is greatly under rated.

[@nosleepinheaven]

What’s really fundamentally difficult to reconcile within the beauty community is that makeup interferes with the efficacy of sunscreen. Unless you’re reapplying your makeup several times a day you’re not really using sunscreen adequately. I haven’t figured out how to deal with this myself other than to stop wearing makeup.

[@heatherjane910]

tostones I’m hoping studies are done on the sunscreen powders and sprays you can apply over your makeup.

[@kleptomelly]

I have never been someone who uses blush, highlight etc. I use a BB/CC cream and then reapply a tinted spf. It works well if you don't care about using certain makeup products.

[@sailorjupiter4]

im vietnamese american, and i love elta md spf 40 & 50... but anyways, people are always surprised that i use sunscreen every day and reapply throughout the day... that means they don't use sunscreen which 😬 no bueno

[@medusawall]

Same here, I'm extremely fair and people are often like "why are you applying sunscreen, you already look like a marshmallow?!" Like I'm societally expected to have a desire to be tanned. Even my boyfriend asked me when we first met why I didn't tan. Like uh, nope. I don't wanna be a cancer ridden leather handbag.

[@melissabridge5687]

My coworkers think I have gone off the deep end and landed in sunscreen Crazyville.Because of Dr. Dray educating me I no longer where base on my face. I wear a tinted spf 50 physical sunscreen. I never wore much makeup before anyway. I reapply at least 3 times a day. I had a scare this summer when my doctor said I needed a spot on my chest tested. It was not cancer. Thank God. I now cover all my exposed skin with spf50. I was a lucky kid. My mom would lather me up a lot and make me wear a shirt over my bathing suit when I was young. (I am a marshmallow white girl!😁) so most of my sun damage is from my late teen years and early adult years.

Tadashi Stark well done... I’m 46 going on 47, and in the last few years I’m seeing a BIG difference between old friends who took sun protection seriously vs others. Those who say “oh, we didn’t know back then...” - rubbish.

It would be awesome to be able to use slightly less and get the same amount of sun protection. Also, I love that you told us how long it takes for you to get through that cerave sunscreen.

[@soulcandide6028]

Thank you for drawing attention to some of the misinformation spread by the EWG. I remember trying to use only their recommended sunscreens when I first found their site. So many of the recommendations were more expensive and not available in drug stores. The white cast they left on my dark skin was terrible. When it comes to coral bleaching, I read that nano zinc oxide and nano titanium dioxide can also contribute to coral bleaching, but a quick review of EWG’s articles on the topic fail to mention it.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah there are plenty of other personal care products (preservatives in wet suits, ingredients in non sunscreen lotions/makeup etc) that i am sure are equally problematic as far as the reef is concerned. The filter ban seems like a half hearted attempted at "we care for the environment." If they really cared, they could close off beaches to swimming, but since that would adversely effect them economically, as far as tourism, they are not taking that type of measure.

[@LedaSBotelho]

You are so admirable. Your honesty and loyalty to people to know the truth about skin care is so... Admirable. I find it outlandish for some people to not comprehend the importance of skin care and to wear the proper SPF. I lecture my family that our skin is our biggest organ and we should take care of it. To prevent cancer, sun spots, and premature aging. This is all facts and it blows my mind that some people ignore them. I'm hoping FDA revaluates ingredients in skin care products and makeup. I detest that makeup industry gets away with things that are known to cause more harm than good. Sad world we live in but people should at least hear the voices.

You are doing us a huge service with videos like this. Thanks! Side note- possible addition to your recommendations: Sun Bum Face 50. Fragrance-free and lightweight. Seems a relatively gentle chemical sunscreen and moderately inexpensive. I want to experiment with more aggressive uva blockers, but its good under makeup and was a lifesaver when I was breaking out and hot/humid in the summer. Was a good starter daily sunscreen for me

[@pamelar4224]

It's too bad the press almost always picks a negative or alarmist stance in order to attract attention to the detriment of the general public where there is a need for better sunscreen choices that make application less problematic and more appealing..

Can you do a video about formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers In skincare/shampoo, cleaning products and good products to use that are free of that plus fragrance free. I’m not sure that people realize that they could have a formaldehyde allergy and is maybe just passing it off to the fragrance or just their skin not reacting to that particular item. Me personally it is like a chemical burn smaller doses will make my face itchy and it’s very hard to find good products that don’t have this in them and are also without the fragrance

Overall some positive moves, but it is frustrating that we in the USA are denied certain filters. My bread and butter sunscreens are zinc and titanium dioxide, but I am fair and my skin is fine with grease. I also use European and Asian sunscreens. I’m so grateful we can order them! I know that most people, if they use sunscreen, buy it at the grocery store or Walmart.

This is important information. Social media does get highjacked at times by hysterics . Keep the science coming. Recently I read a major influencer's blog that noted an interest in sunscreen inhibiting vitamin D. I wear sunscreen daily and have yet to test low on vitamin D, but II take a supplement of calcium and D3 for my bones as directed by my doctor.

I have over 50 little moles just on my face and hundreds on my body so i try to use sunscreen everyday. I got two new moles on my fingers. Is it normal to have it there? I think a video about normal looking moles to distinguish them fron skin cancer could be very helpful for many people.

Hey if you live near Atlanta - I’ve seen many of the UPF 50 hats for 14.99...as we wait another decade for more advanced filters..😢

Honestly the sunscreens that leave a significant cast are just completely impractical, unless you’re sitting alone in your backyard. Even as a fair-skinned person I feel absolutely ridiculous walking around with a thick, noticeably white layer on my face, it’s really embarrassing. Sometimes I’ll think I rubbed my sunscreen in really well only to catch sight of myself in a mirror out in public and be totally shocked that I’ve been walking around looking like this, and I’ve never seen anyone with such a noticeable application of sunscreen on their face so I feel all the more embarrassed. But almost all sheer sunscreens sting the eyes really badly so right now I’m doing a mix, using the gentler white cast sunscreen around my eyes, and the sheer sunscreen for the rest of my face.

Potentially dumb question.. what about fluorescent light bulbs? We have those in my office. No windows, yet the indoor plants are thriving, so it makes me wonder 🤷🏼‍♀️

Plants dont require UV rays to photosynthesize, they mainly utilize visible light

I’ve very curious about your thoughts on the testing and findings from Stream2Sea, who focuses on reef-safe sunblocks. I’m a diver and diving with gentle sunblocks on is a focus for many of us.

[@DrDrayzday]

the coconut oil in them can be irritating

[@lbealle5924]

I spend more money each month on sunscreen than I do on skincare or makeup 😊 As a daily habit: mineral spf 50 on face, chemical SPF 50 on body, spray spf 50 to top-up during the day (keep it in the car) for exposed body parts, mineral powder spf 50 for face top-up, and my car windows have Lumar UV coating. In summer, if outside in the sun, I reapply the lotions too. As a result of this regime (at age 53): no brown spots, minimal photo aging, no skin cancer. Yay!

[@traceymurphy4804]

How sun protective is regular clothing ie. Cotton, dry fit fabrics?

So happy for the upload. Hope you’re Monday is going well. I purchased the Alturist spf 50 but am either allergic or extremely irritated by octocrylene 😔. I came to the conclusion after using CeraVe spf 25 also and suffering the same swollen burning eyes and a runny nose. I have some la Roche posay spf 50 which I wear every day now though but it is expensive. I’m of African decent and in the UK 🇬🇧. Love your videos!

[@SusanSlattery]

Dr. Dray, I have a tough question: I wear La Roche Posay Shaka Fluid every day. I just learned about a new Tinted Oil Foundation from Kosas. Seems like a godsend for my dry skin. But here's the thing: Mexoryl XL, Avobenzone + Tinosorb S are all OIL SOLUBLE. Should I forgo the Kosas Tinted Oil? They recommended using it with mineral sunscreen. But I really feel better wearing Shaka Fluid. Before I put anything else on I let it "set up" + dry. Do you think applying the Kosas on top of the Shaka will ruin my sun protection?

[@suecone2198]

Thank you so much for this real explanation! I am at an age that the sun protection wasn’t really known or understood. I had dark hair, dark eyes and medium skin color and people always thought I would be fine in the sun. Wrong!! Every year as a young person when I was in the sun for very long I got a really bad sunburn. I have a lot of brown spots popping out now and that is sun damage and I use sunscreen each and everyday and I am checked all over every year. I just had a small place on my face that just wouldn’t heal and it was pre cancer so it got frozen. I find it very interesting that sunscreen that comes from overseas has a lot of pluses on it and I have discovered that means it has more and better protection than what we can purchase in the USA. Thanks for your info!

I was wondering if this would be some kind of regulation that would prevent people from selling their homemade sunscreens and labelling them with an SPF, but it sounds like that was already not allowed. (Etsy is full of them, for example. It's shocking.)

[@DrDrayzday]

that needs to stop...very dangerous

[@Haley_Wozniak]

Yes! Same with all these wellness mommy blogger's and their homemade recipes for sunscreen. It's terrible.

[@annabaker4857]

The one I saw recently used a phrase like "an equivalent spf of 15-20" which makes me think some of them are trying to be a little more cautious than flat out claiming an spf. It was followed with "and a little goes a long way", which makes me rage-y when people say that about sunscreen. The gobs of coconut oil and essential oils they make it out of also makes me shudder.

[@afyaabrafi5433]

WHAAAAAT???? Homemade sunscreen? 😨😨😨 Dear heavens! I shop on Etsy quite a bit but this is outrageous.

Can you talk about the "No Ad" sunscreens. We buy the children's version in large quanities to keep when our four grandchildren visit. My husband uses the adult version because he lathers it on really thick, and we can get 32 oz. for $11. We rarely swim or visit the ocean, so is having oxybenzone still a problem?
