Sunscreen Indoors, Really? All You Need To Know For The Right Sunscreen | Talking Point

Singapore’s hot weather is probably one of our country’s most defining features given our location near the equator. Yet, studies have shown that less than one in four Singaporeans use sunscreen daily. Is the sun in Singapore truly damaging enough to warrant using sunscreen daily?
In this Talking Point episode, host Steven Chia finds out just what the sun can do to our skin and if there’s any kind of sunscreen that’s best at keeping us safe from Singapore’s sunny skies.

True

[@pattycarljackson]

Well it really isn’t that expensive and sunscreen isn’t really that easy to formulate and paying for all the tests that need to be done for new sunscreens and so on isn’t cheap so it’ll most likely never really get any cheaper plus so many sunscreens are putting actual ingredients that you’d find in regular skincare into sunscreen so making it cheaper also just doesn’t make sense lol when its actual skincare but also sunscreen you shouldn’t care about it costing as much as regular skincare products.

[@zammyr6807]

@@pattycarljackson I get what you mean and you're absolutely right. But still, there are thousands of people that can't even afford the cheapest sunscreen, and we know most of time the cheapest ones are the ones with bad formulas. So I think mostly they have to make bigger tubes, even more when we're supposed to apply sunscreen every two hours. I was advised to use more sunscreen than usual but I only apply once a day cause otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford any sunscreen.

Yea 10ml is definitely overkill. The recommended amount I've heard from derms (in the US) is 1/4 teaspoon for just your face.

A lot of people think wearing sunscreen indoor is crazy or not necessary, but for me, it did made a difference. I've been wearing sunscreen everyday since my late teens. I'm in my 30s now and still no wrinkle or hyperpigmentation. However, I did skipped sunscreen on days I don't go out. Last year, I started working from home due to Covid and lockdown, so I didn't wear sunscreen for 2-3 months. I got noticeably tanner, and my foundation was 1-2 shades too light for me when I finally wear it one day to go out. It truly baffled me because it was when Fall was transitioning to Winter and I usually get half a shade lighter. I didn't immediately link it to sunscreen, but after researching about it, I found out about wearing sunscreen indoor. So I started wearing it like how I used to and voila, within a month, I was back to my original shade. It was wild but it's a lesson I'm glad I learned.

I would say get spf 50 at least. Since most are lazy and wont re apply. You also have to re apply every 2 hours at least. Also there is such a thing as upf clothing. Where it has tightly woven fabric that blocks the sun. Most fabrics block the sun no problem. But some are really thin/cheap/see through. Also upf fabrics are normally thin and for sporting so they can keep you cool and block the sun. Also gotta wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Polarized lenses are the best. And you can wear upf 50 hats as well. Also just wearing long sleeve, long pants, light colored fabrics work. And just avoiding being in the sun, stick to the shade. Also you can use upf umbrellas.

You have a couple options, also they have clip on sunglasses that you can clip on your own glasses.

You forgot to delve deeper into the pa++ rating system, Steve. You talked about UVB and how it relates to burns, you talked about skin cancer, but the relation between the pa++ rating and skin cancer was neglected and I'd argue, is more important. For instance, how many pluses is enough for skin cancer protection? SPF 30 is just fine to use over SPF 100 so what about pa? Pa++ is a lot cheaper than pa++++ after all. The topic of chemical sunscreen downsides was also not discussed. Most chemical sunscreens available have active ingredients that are readily absorbed into the bloodstream while Australia and Hawaii have banned most of them for the damage they cause to the oceans. I would have loved to hear what your experts have to say about those topics.

Never forget to apply a good moisturizer or hydrating serum or gel(like hyaluronic acid serum or gel) before applying the sunscreen on your skin.. 3)use an umbrella or a hat under the very hot sun,black umbrellas are the best to protect your skin from the uv rays.. 4)also you need to take care of your feet,if u wear a open sleepers shoes then wear sunscreen over there, if u wear a full pant with a shoe then it will be good for u and u do not need to wear sunscreen on your legs and feet.. 5)daily skincare is good for your skin *daytime skin care-(in summer):wash your face with a soap free mild foaming face wash,if u have dry or sensitive skin wash your face with normal cold water or Cetaphil gentle cleanser,then apply a water based moisturizer (like nmf e lotion) or hyaluronic acid serum or gel ,then apply your sunscreen(spf 50,pa+++,zinc oxide sunscreens are the best) ***night time skin care(for summer)-it is very important to properly clean your face in the night time, if u have make up or no make up i do not care,u always need double cleansing in the evening time,apply your oil based cleansing bulm or normal coconut or olive oil on your skin massage it then wipe it off with a damp cotton pad or a towel,make sure your make up and sun cream are gone,then wash your face with a foaming face wash or a geltle cleanser like cetaphil.... Then apply a vitamin c face serum on damp skin,then apply a water based moisturizer on it ..u are done,u can use retinol or retin a cream twice a week by mixing it with your moisturizer for anti aging.... &*******for winter skincare(morning)-wash your face with room temparature water in the morning ,u do not need any cleanser or face wash in the morning of winter... Do double moisturising, how? U need a lotion base moisturizer and a cream base thick moisturizer u can mix them and apply it directly on your face and hands,then use sunscreen on it, ***night time skin care for winter_u need double cleansing first like summer night time skin care,then apply vitamin c serum,then do double moisturising on it,if u have dry to very dry skin u can apply a little bit of vaseline petroliam jelly after doing double moisturising process, Be safe ,stay healthy....

I also get info from other radiations such as gamma rays etc. In Sweden they still call melasma spots age spots. I use clothes as protection and when necceseary I use sunscreen with combo filter- it's important to read ingredients and understand the amount of sunscreen needed to get to the protection and don't forget that everything you put under or over the sunscreen may effect it's formula thus compromising it's protection. Expensive brands that are good often times sell thier product rebranded as a pharmacy chain product - cheaper but equally tested dermatologic.

People have been living without sunscreen for thousands of years. Melanoma rates have gone UP, not down since sunscreen was discovered. It's much more important to eat lots of fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants that naturally protect your skin from damage from the inside. Also, eat more omega-3 fatty acids and less omega 6's. This ratio is very important when it comes to the health and protection of your skin. If I go out in the sun I wear a hat and long sleeves. It's OK to put a little on your face if you want to avoid wrinkles, but slathering on tons of sunscreen every day is just unnecessary and expensive. Many brands have toxic chemicals in them too. If you are going to the beach, then you should probably put on sun block, but at least choose one that doesn't have toxic chemicals in them (I am a nutritionist by the way).

[@kat-qy8ng]

Unless in certain circumstances where in 1 sunscreen (that has two conflicting types of sunscreen ingredients together. Like the brand SuperGoop) the chemist was able to include other ingredients to stabilize both sunscreen additives. Making the wearer able to wear this sunscreen and have it work to its full effect. (Maybe instead with these don't wear when the ingredients expire?) I dunno, but love this video. Great work!

[@summerscrush]

Definitely recommend Altruist sunscreen products. It's more affordable for me to buy and use with a pretty generous amount anytime I use it (it costs around $8-$9 for Altruist SPF30 with 200ml and $7-8 for Altruist SPF50 with 100ml). And because of the affordable price, its texture is pretty sticky and shiny, and some sensitive people might get teary with it too. I have to bear it because its sun protection effect is so high and strong and the price is affordable, even though it has such disadvantages in return. So you can consider it!

[@cutiequikie]

The only inaccuracy in this video is the one about Organic (Chemical) and Inorganic (Physical/mineral). Recent studies show that BOTH principally work the same by absorbing heat. The latter only reflects 5-10%. True, Organic can be more irritating but with recent filters, there are less irritations and offer higher UVA/UVB protection.

The amount you need to apply is borderline ridiculous for everyday use under traditional guidelines which ties into cost and how it makes people look . 3 most sunscreens are uncomfortable to wear even at lower quantities unless you spend larger amounts. This combo along with no visible need from the consumers pov on cloudy days to need to wear it it’s a non starter for most.

35 looking 25 here. I've used factor 50 religiously, everyday (and yup, even when indoors) since I was 21. People don't realise that 90% of skin aging is caused by sunlight damage. We are a culture obsessed with youth, and yet most spend a lot of money on various skin products but neglect the most obvious solution: sunscreen. Plus the health benefits are numerous: protecting immune system; avoiding skin cancer + feeling better about your appearance as you age. Slaver up and protect your protective barrier: YOUR SKIN! :)

[@desertmoonlee6631]

You can never be 35 and look 25 someone just told you nice stuff because like you said we are obsessed with youth which is dumb. I’m sure you look great but no need to make age comparison because i can tell someone age no matter how young they look or have no skin damage

[@paige172]

well said. that sounds like an ad tbh lol

[@sandokero]

I used to always stick to Korean/Japanese sunscreens because of cosmetic elegance. However I was always worry that they weren’t providing sufficient coverage and the PA rating is outdated. I now strictly use European sunscreens for my face and body even when I’m staying indoors (I live in the Philippines which is very humid and sunny). Most European sunscreens are thick, gloopy, and shiny but they have high standards in terms of protection and are most often water resistant. For my face I use Riemann’s P20 for kids, for my body I use Altruist SPF 50 (they both have a PPD of more than 50)

[@PHlophe]

ese euro sunscreen were not formulate for your darker complexion in mind. so whether you get 30, 50 , which you think the highest the "better", its just a moisturizer. . you've got dark nipples = person of color. and you've got enough melanin to protect yourself from long terms Sun damage.

go as high as you can, put it on every 2ish hours, especially outdoors and wear sun protectact clothes. I'm sensitive, so I use minial sunblock on face but chemical mix for the rest of the body. Min strength is 50 (not 30) cause its hard to remember to put a lot or put it often. There's much more affordable brands, than Le Roche (a. premium brand) and I stick to cream or gel, no sprays. eat well, and have a decient vitamin serum

Ideally spf 50. But for indoor activities some experts say spf 15 to 30 is enough. Anyway I would like to apply spf 50...but is too sticky n breaking me out. So spf 15 to 30 is still ok for me. Layering 2x I feel safer. But for outdoor activities spf 50 would be safer

[@tpmtassociates9543]

10ML ??? The La Roche Posay Anthelios is a 50ML bottle. That's way too much for your face and neck!! Then that means each 50ML bottle is suppose to last for 5 days application ... so 4 bottles of it a month .......???

That doesn't even take into account the fact that you have to reapply it apprix every 2 hours. So it lasts even less time

So a 50ml bottle would last for 5 applications and you need to reapply during the day so let's say the bottle would last 3 days with reapplying, a bottle of sunscreen is about 20 USD and you need repurchase it every 3 days, so you need to buy 10 bottles each months which is about 200 USD The information she gave about how much Sunscreen need to be used it totally false you need 2mg of sunscreen for each cm² of the skin

[@n3r0n3]

Both the sales of sunscreens and the rate of melanoma grew considerably in recent years and there's a correlation between vitamin d deficiency and skin cancer. Let's talk about that! Let's talk osteoporosis! Sunscreen is important but it has to be used appropriately as vitamin D levels are FAR more important 4 your health than wrinkle management.

[@n3r0n3]

ps: in general, when indoors, you are mostly exposed to UVA (also the most damaging to your skin). Using a UVA shield (PA++++ but very low SPF) could be the most reasonable way forward.

I drink milk so I guess can stay away from the sun.

[@desertmoonlee6631]

@@ebencipe vitamin D is created with calcium and sun rate also melatonin. You can’t creat sun with any food. Humans have survived without sunscreen for thousands of years and were fine. I use sunscreen in hot summer days only unless you are redhead or blonde then it’s a special case and need more care. Companies always greedy and ask you to spend more, anyone wearing sunscreen indoors or in winter cloudy day is insane mostly if they are not ginger or blondes.

10ml is wayyyy too much. If LRP really believes that, why are they selling their sunscreens in 50ml bottles? Is it supposed to be travel size to the beach?

[@sereinserenity2293]

They try to sell their product. The correct calculation is around 1.5ml on face then double portion on neck + down to your chest + ears. If you aren't wearing V-neck and exposing your chest you don't need that much. In short 2-3ml per application and re-apply every 4 hours if you stay outdoor for long hours. I'm wearing sunscreen or sunblock at home, SPF 50, most of times I don't need to re-apply.

If it actually does what it claims to be doing and when I see positive effects at an age where signs of ageing are usual like 50s per say then I'll be making sure my offsprings make wearing sunscreen a norm just like it's a norm to brush teeth.
