If you have had skin cancer or a family history of skin cancer, then it is likely you are wearing sunscreen...and more likely it is a HIGH SPF sunscreen.
When we refer to a high spf sunscreen, in this video, we are referring to a sunscreen that is higher than SPF of 50.
A High SPF sunscreen may not really be high in the Sun Protection Factor. Proctor and Gamble tested a competitors SPF 100 sunscreen in 3 different labs.
The results varied between spf 37 - spf 75.
The small differences in application and light transmissions yielded such dramatic differences in results, they concluded that in the "real world" the differences would also be the most dramatic in differences in SPF protection.
High SPF provides just a tad bit better sun protection when properly applied:
For example, SPF 50 blocks 98 % of UVB rays and whereas SPF 100 blocks out 99% of UVB rays.
The higher the SPF, the more sunscreen chemicals it can contain.
High SPF sunscreens are not completely protecting you.
Most of the high SPF sunscreen are designed to block out UVB (burning rays) which is the main cause of sunburn and non-melanoma skin cancers.
UV A rays (aging rays) are related to higher risk of developing melanoma . These rays penetrate deeper into the skin and more difficult to block with sunscreen ingredients approved by the FDA.
High SPF sunscreen fare worse in balancing out UV A and UV B protection. High SPF sunscreens are better at protecting from sunburn which is the UV B protection NOT the UV A rays.
The ideal sunscreen would be an equal balance of protection from BOTH types of UV rays.
In the U.S., the FDA is still testing out ingredients for UV A protection.

How many of you use a very high spf (ABOVE 50SPF) on a DAILY basis?

[@pajamamama5965]

Excellent info, thank you! I only use mineral sunscreen 15 or 30 on my face daily, not the rest of my body. I use at least a 30 on my body if I'm going to be in the Sun a while. It definitely helps prevent a burn.

[@GoSeeChristy]

Great job! Thank you for sharing with us what you use. I also use a mineral based sunsceen spf 30. I will use a higher spf sunscreen when I know I will be out all day and I will use a combination (physical and chemical) on my body when I will be outside all day. But on a day to day basis when I am inside my treatment room, I only use a mineral sunscreen. I don't want any additional chemicals on my skin that I don't need.

[@dlppl3407]

Hi Christy!!! You are amazing! My favorite KZbinr!!! 💗 I use eltaMD UV clear SPF 46 (I live in Arizona) and if I wear a skirt I wear botanical mineral SPF 50. But I'm starting to consider a mineral SPF 30 😊😊😊😊

[@GoSeeChristy]

Thank you so much for your compliment! : )

[@merystan589]

50+ sunscreen every single day ! My new resolution now that I am 21 turning 22

[@josiahtang]

well, for the SPF 50 vs. 100 argument, if you look at it from the amount of rays that reaches your skin, ie. SPF50 = 2% rays reach your skin vs. SPF100 = 1% rays reach skin, then the labeling is not misleading, since 100 is larger than 50 by a factor of 2, you get double the amount of protection against the rays that actually reach your skin.

[@GoSeeChristy]

Most people won't think like you do, though. Most people will be fine with SPF 30-50 unless they have a history of repeated skin cancer or family members who have skin cancer.

[@narutosinuyasha11]

This justifies spending more for my pale skin 😂 thabkyou for sharing your information!!

[@LexFerrante]

My mom always emphasized reapplying every 60-90 min no matter what the SPF is. So i never felt it was worth investing more money in higher spf. I love how informative your videos are!

[@avalyn28]

I wear an spf 50+ every single day. Here in Europe, manufacturers aren't allowed to label products over spf 50, so anything higher is labelled "spf 50+", which means at least 59.9. I prefer a higher protection even if I use the product correctly and use additional measures, like a hat and long sleeves/trousers. I also look for products with high PPD ratings (over 30), and if I will be in the sun for longer, I will only use a water resistant product with a PPD of at least 35-40. Since I am in Europe, I prefer chemical sunscreens, because the filters here are very stable and have great protection. Zinc oxide breaks me out, so I avoid mineral sunscreens.

[@MeredithRyncarzPhotography]

This is such a good video. I had always been told that the higher the number the better the protection. Very well done and great research.

[@Sonnenblume997]

Was about to buy spf 120 when i saw this video i decided to buy spf 50 instead

[@kathleengoriup4988]

I have started using Japanese sunscreens, because of the chemicals that provide great UVA (as well as UVB) rays and are more stable. What are your thoughts on these sunscreens, in general? I realize you were speaking of physical sunscreens, but I don't have sensitive skin and the chemical ones are so much lighter and don't have that white cast.

[@GoSeeChristy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!

[@philippillis9393]

Thanks for the video! I use a Japanese sunscreen (Biorè Watery Gel) which is 50+ with UVA/UVB filters, it uses titanium dioxide as it leaves a light white cast but the ingredient list is very long. Does it really filter UVA rays? Japanese products are very specific about this and have their own measurements (SPF for UVB and PA for UVA). That's why I don't buy western sunscreen as they mostly don't feature any UVA filters.

[@GoSeeChristy]

I tried to look up the ingredients and could not find it. What I don't prefer about Japanese products is that even though the scents they use are gentle and fresh , they do like to add fragrance in a lot of their products. Does this have fragrance?

[@philippillis9393]

@@GoSeeChristy yes it indeed contains fragrance. I also like SVR Sun Secure sun screens but they also contain fragrance. It's so hard to find skincare products without fragrance. Here's the ingredient list: www.ratzillacosme.com/sun/biore-uv-aqua-rich-watery-gel-2019/

[@janegibbon1532]

The problem with SPFs higher than 30 is that you need to add or increase the amount of chemicals like Octocrylene, or Homosalate as opposed to relying solely on zinc oxide.

Hi Christy, I’m your fan, loves all your videos:) I would like to ask how to use sunblock with moisturizer, serum, toner, acne cream? Which one to apply first? Thanks

[@GoSeeChristy]

HI Althea, as a general rule, go from thinnest to thickest in product. If the serum is water based, use the serum first. If it is anti oxidant serum, let absorb before spraying the toner and then apply the sunscreen/moisturizer, and then use the acne cream on the affected areas. Here is a video that may help . kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYvOi5KFrNitack

I should use sunscreen daily-- I don't--- I have no hair :-)... Such great info for using sunscreen-- I usually use a water shirt !and hat !zinc! This was an eye opening video--thanks . So what to use ? Subbed !

[@GoSeeChristy]

I would use an oil free SPF 30-50 since your head is always exposed to the uv rays. In my other video, men had a higher rate of skin cancer on their scalp than women. The scalp produces 2x the oil than any other area of the body so I would use one that actually have patented microsponges that absorb excess oil. Most sunscreens for the scalp are too greasy. Here is a suggestion that my clients husband use during gold on their head. goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/lira-clinical-hydrating-anti-aging-sunscreen

[@plonisalmony7418]

For someone who uses Retin A what would you say is the minimum SPF required?

[@GoSeeChristy]

I think this is a great question! I think on a day to day basis, 25+ would suffice and SPF50 if you are going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time.

[@lizbeth.c6734]

Can you do drugstore reviews plz

[@GoSeeChristy]

Hi liz863, I am avoiding doing any drugstore reviews for sunscreen since the FDA has given most drug store brands until 2023 to reformulate their products and to pass testing. Most of them were found to not actually pass their testing according to the spf label. Some of them were found to be quite a bit lower in sun protection.

[@sable7114]

very informational. I thought I heard before that anything above 50 does not really give you that much added benefit at all. To me it's really just a nuisance because it is so thick. I use between 30 and 45 SPF. I find that the zinc oxide produces less of a cast than the titanium dioxide but would rather use combination sunscreen for now anyway. Trip coming up soon, lots of time in the Sun.

HI Elizabeth, I don't know where you live but in the US, I don't even think there are products for 10 SPF. The more you are exposed to the sun, the higher your spf should be.

[@GoSeeChristy]

Hi @Cath Gan, thank you for watching, for some people, they need a higher spf due to prior skin cancer or skin cancer that runs in their family. Unfortunately, the higher the spf, the more likely the higher the chemical levels to keep the spf stable and less resistance to break down, because no matter how high the spf, it is still recommended to reapply every hour or so.

There are some chemical sunscreen from Europe that have the ingredient that helps fight the UV A rays but it breaks down so quickly that at this point, I don't know if it is worth it.

Whats the best sun screen that has high spf AND broad spectrum coverage?

[@GoSeeChristy]

Hi Grand Master Mawile, thank you for watching my video. There are many great sunscreens and there is NOT one that is the best. This depends on many factors depending on skin type, what skin condition you are trying to address and where you live. For example, mineral sunscreens are healthier for skin overall because it does not absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreen also are better for people who are sensitive to chemical sunscreens because the uv absorbing chemicals tend to irritate sensitive skin types. High SPF such as 70 or higher tend to be chemical sunscreens. These would be suited for someone who works outdoors or will be sweating a lot so they need a sunscreen that absorbs into the skin vs one that can potentially be rubbed off such as a physical sunscreen. Most high spf sunscreens are broad spectrum nowadays. Do you have oily skin or dry skin, do you have break outs, do you have hyperpigmentation? There are sunscreens that address this as well. Please be more specific and then I can give you a more narrow selection.

[@Floof_Factory]

@@GoSeeChristy actually i have none of those. I know that collagen in your skin starts breaking down in your mid 20s leading to wrinkles over time (im 24). And i was talking to an esthetician and she says i can significantly delay this if I start while I'm still young by using liquid collagen or rentinol; and sunscreen with high spf/broad spectrum. So I'm looking at sunscreens that I can use everyday. I don't sweat much but I do drive around alot everyday for my business in sunny florida. Any tips?

[@GoSeeChristy]

If you mean by taking nutrition collagen, this will help preserve your collagen. I would avoid the Retinol if you are always driving and Florida is always sunny. I would agree with the sunscreen too. You would need to reapply every 90 minutes if you are always out driving. It would also help with lots of prevention such eating foods that help neutralize the free radicals on the cellular level. Here is on sugggestion in addition to eating foods high in polyphenols what help slow down aging. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpDNoWlnn92io80.
