Please make a video on effect of screen time (mobile, TV, Monitor) on skin ageing. Does light emitted by them cause ageing? Do sunscreens protect against that light?
In some comments I see people advocating coconut oil as a great face moisturizer. FYI for those considering coconut oil as a facial moisturizer, be aware that it is highly comedogenic and can cause blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and aggravate acne.
I'm allergic to American chemical sunscreens (no new sunscreen ingredient has been introduced and approved in the US for over thirty years). Easy-peasy. I buy Korean sunscreens. They offer high sun protection (SPF 50, PA ++++), are inexpensive, elegant cosmetically, and don't make me nauseous for hours!
I didn’t need this video to understand how much the skin damages the skin. As a massage therapist, I’m amazed at what I see. I see all the time people in their 70s and 80s that have youthful skin in some areas and completely aged skin where the sun has access. Now that I know, I just don’t go out in the sun during times of high UV index. I also tinted the windows in my car. Sunscreen is useful of course but regulating exposure makes sense too.
So true. I use Aloe Vera gel during the day which costs me 1.20 a small tube, Aloe Vera cream big tub at night for only a pound, people say I look 20 years younger but I also quit sugar, exorcise regularly, dont drink alcohol or smoke which am sure helps too.
Whatever FDA says I try to avoid it. I found myself in this rabbit hole of so many industry lies when I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths". Its no wonder why Doctor left her career.
Oh wow another blanket rejection of everything, such a brave and unusual take on the internet. Everyone else, getting their daily RDA of Vitamin C - such suckers and NPC's am I right guys? Real independent thinkers enjoy getting scurvy.

Great summary, Dr Stanfield! I recently learned about how sunscreens are tested and controlled in different countries. Australia was a strict process that focuses on durability with water and sweat exposure while Korea and Japan do not assess this. Fine for everyday ordinary use, but recreational situations require a more rigorously tested product. Thanks again for great info!
I've moved to Japanese sunscreens. I would love to see your opinion on the sunscreen in Japan, which has been highly studied and blocks MANY more harmful spectrums of UV light. I use PA+++ sunscreens and they have worked better than any Zinc Oxide based sunscreens and feels SO much better on the skin.
@@davidflorez1196 Nivia UV Super Water gel 50 and Biore UV Aqua Rich PA++++. Both available on Amazon in the US. Been using for years now and they are superior to US sunscreen in literally every way. Feel great on the skin, no residue and incredible protection. Been trying to get everyone I know to switch over. US sunscreen technology is WAY behind.
Japanese sunscreens are weak with UV protection compared to European ones. No wonder they are often said to be so much easier to apply and have a better lighter feeling & application, because the ones in EU have to be so much thicker by regulation
@@OmniEyesSCI been using Biore for years and I love it, so easy to wear. But I hear European ones are much more effective for skin aging and cancer prevention.
Worth mentioning that titanium dioxide can also provide great broad spectrum protection on its own. Manufacturers can optimise the particle size to give excellent UVA protection and meet all EU requirements. Also: remember that some forms of octinoxate are encapsulated so they never absorb into skin at all
In Norway, there were recently an article about titanium dioxide in tooth paste, and that it might cause cancer. It's also forbidden in food in Norway and the EU since 2021 (from the same article I read).
I've tried top rated mineral sunscreens (like Blue Lizard), and since you need to apply a lot for full protection, they always leave my face white, no matter how much I try to rub them in.
I use a Mango Butter and Organic Coconut Oil creme for day and nighttime hydration and both ingredients contain ceramides (from the coconut oil) and vitamin A (from the Mango Butter) without the side effects of using a retinoid cream. It's a great alternative for those wanting to use a more natural product to moisturize and rejuvenate their skin.
I've had a terrible reaction to chemical sunscreen when it was applied to skin already slightly sunburned. Horrible swelling, scarring. I've stuck with zinc oxide since. It is important to select a brand that uses the minerals in somewhat larger sizes, as nanoparticles also may enter the body through the skin.
Vitamin C serum and Cica cream in the morning. If you wear makeup, choose a base with added skincare ingredients and sunscreen built in for triple duty.
I have a friend who loves surfing so much that he literally moved to Hawaii and will wait hours on the beach for a swell. I know you say it's cheap but if that guy tried to keep sunscreen on himself all day long he'd be bankrupt. You could probably imagine how his skin looks. We're both the same age but he pretty much looks like surfing Santa sans belly.
I agree and have stopped using chemical sunscreens for that reason. However some people, who are at high risk of skin cancer, many of them often work in the sun, have reported that they cannot stand the texture of mineral sunscreens and that they've often skipped applying it solely for that reason.

As someone who grew up in NZ, now in my 50's, we used to think an 8spf sunscreen was a bit extreme lol. I work outside and the skin on my arms and legs is pretty wrecked as I tan up quite well, so I don't burn on those places. Compare that, to my skin which doesn't see the sun, and it's like night and day. So much more firm and elastic. I've been using a mineral sunscreen but it's quite irritating and dries out my skin so am looking for some other alternatives. So thx for the recommendations Dr Brad!
I'm soon to be 65 years old man, never got into using special creams or soaps. I think why people tell me I look like in my 40's is because I haven't loss much or none of my facial bones. And my hair is 90% black with 10% gray. I still weigh the same (190 lbs.) when I was 24 years old (1984) and the same height, 6'1". One more thing, I don't feel like I'm in my 40's, but more like my 80's.
@@davidwelburn Perhaps it was that I never drank alcoholic beverages, smoke and never became obese. I loved eating eggs when I was young, and still do as an old man. Started weightlifting when I was 14 years old (1974).
@@michaeltorres638 Thanks, Michael. I've never smoked or been obese, but I do drink alcohol, though not much. I started weightlifting at 16 but did calisthenics for a couple of years before that. I think I went a bit too far on the heavy squats and deadlifts (proportional to my frame) though, so that might not have helped.
@@michaeltorres638We have a friend who turned 105 last august. She goes to the casino every Friday and Saturday to play poker. She only takes one medication for her blood pressure which she started to take in her late 90s. She doesn’t need eyeglasses, plays the stock market on her phone and has done extremely well. She is remarkable. Just like you, she never drank, never smoked, never gained weight and ate 3 soft boiled eggs every single day for the past 105 years. She also says adaptability is one of the most important quality in life.
I live in Queensland, Australia. We have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world: not surprising I guess when you put a mostly fair-skinned people in the literal tropics and near-tropics. Weirdly, most of us accept this and get visible sun damage by early middle age, and everyone knows people who have had one or lots of skin cancers cut out. It's sort of a cultural norm. If you actually use sunscreen, it is for preventing the pain of getting burned at work or the beach, not to improve cosmetic appearance. I'm one of the rare ones that applies it every day. Because my dermatologist told me to. As part of treatment for... sun damaged skin 😂
I use baking soda and water to gently cleanse... then i apply a little castor oil thinned with coconut oil for the day. At night, I splash my face with warm water, then̈ cold water, then warm water, and then I apply only castor oil and cover that with a thin layer of vaseline. It is the best, cheapest skincare routine I've ever done. It works. I've been told 😊 I'm not a sun bunny, never was, but i like to garden, so quite interested in this video about sunscreen. Learned lots!
@@catherinecastle8576 Well you explained a very complicated regime… But then you did not provide any evidence. So why waste your time writing such a long post if no one else can benefit.
I, uhhhh, have been treating with 5-Flurouracil (5FU) cream for skin cancer (nasty situation) but after the treatment and after all the pain of dead cancerous tissues coming off my face and neck, the wrinkles were greatly reduced and even looking and feeling tighter like more collagen formed. Could it be we white folks get skin cancer (sun damaged skin) without even knowing it is cancerous? My skin cancer was hidden for the most part, my dermatologist thought I just had a few solar keratosis spots. Treatment with 5FU cream the skin erupted with skin cancer all over the place, and on my face, neck, and arms - the places where the sun was hitting most frequently. I am trying to get onto a clinical trial for Libtayo or Keytruda (monoclonal antibodies) to clear most or all skin cancer from my body. I am guessing if I get that treatment I will find my wrinkles and skin will smooth out and the skin will tighten up. I am wondering if skin cancer hides on healthy people, the immune system keeping it dormant for the most part, and I also wonder if we are looking at skin cancer thinking it is normal skin when it really is not.
I have never heard of this but I will be doing some research later... what you describe kind of sounds like a chemical peel, so I'm skeptical, but if it can effectively de-age skin...
Appreciate the push for people to wear sunscreen more, but there's still lots of (quite common) misconceptions about sunscreen filters being perpetuated here. For those trying to get into the habit of sun protection and want to learn about sunscreen safety, Lab Muffin busts many of these myths and is a godsend! She's covered the benzene scare as well if you'd like to hear more on it Dr. Stanfield!
Absolutely …… Dr Michelle Wong (lab muffin) is the only RUclipsr I completely trust ! European sunscreens are considered by many as superior to Korean as the Korean sunscreens are only useful during incidental sun exposure !! The filters in eg LRP. are considered by many dermatologists to be “better” I do have to say though that Korean sunscreens and skincare tend to be more cosmetically elegant ‘
@@Sheenoshine Yep! Culture plays into this as well - East Asians value fair skin and take sun avoidance pretty seriously, so the average sunscreen has to look good for daily, casual wear. The trade-off is most sacrifice water resistance for a lighter finish. Westerners are more into a 'healthy' tan, so sunscreens are meant for preventing actual burns while they're on the beach and such. Naturally they won't look or feel as nice, but I feel like that's changing as more people get into daily sunscreen wear :)
My Mother In Law died at ninety two. Her face and neck looked like a 30yr old. Everybody she met asked what she did to keep her skin so soft and smooth. Get ready for this, you won't believe it...... Vaseline. Honest, True, I watched her put it on every day.
I use the CeraVe pm during the day too. It’s great. I find that it particularly works great to flatten out any under eye puffiness right away. I pat a little extra on that area every morning.
Chemical sunscreens make my skin itch and sting: that"s MY "pushback." And, while the mineral blockers are cheap in themselves, sunscreens that contain ONLY those are (usually) outrageously expensive.
You have to choose between wrinkles and earlier death, I fear. A study on 50'000 Swedish women found a 50% death rate reduction on those who went out regularly. Nowadays, people have an ever decreasing vitamine-D-level due to ever less time spent and moved outdoors, partially also due to sunscreen. But we evolved to stay outdoors summer and winter at least 5 hours daily, if you are living at an altitude corresponding to your skin type. Then we will hardly suffer from the different diseases caused by insufficient exposure to UV-A, UV-B and Infrared. Our skin will adapt gradually according to sun intensity, no sunburn possible then.
Hi Dr. Stanfield, I looked carefully at the ingredients listed on the box of Beauty of Joseon Daily Sunscreen for face and based on the product information, there is no specific mention of whether the Beauty of Joseon Daily Relief Sunscreen contains bemotrizinol. Furthermore, I checked the other three Korean sunscreen you mentioned, they do not mention bemotrizinol.
Look for “BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXPHENYL TRIAZINE.” Generally you won’t see “Bemotrizinol” or “BEMT” or “Tinosorb S” listed, but they are all the same thing.
Just looking at my work issued Cancer Council of Australia Broadspectrum 50+ sunscreen and the last ingredient at 1.5% is Bemotrizinol... but it also has Octocrylene at 2% as the second last ingredient, plus a bunch of other stuff.
Isn't there a lot of data showing titanium oxide (especially smaller nano formulations) also enter the bloodstream and titanium is definitely not good to have in the body.
@@vaska1999 Great question! Titanium implants are not great to have in the body. Every implant has their own issues, but with titanium implants you do get titanium molecules leaking into your bloodstream. And it is a heavy metal. Modern medicine is not very well clued in about the effects of heavy metals, but when you look at more modern and science based approaches to medicine it is well recognized how heavy metals are a problem when it comes to health. Here to show that it is known that the metals leech into the blood (and then other tissues as it has to go somewhere or be excreted) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9380337/ Medicine justifies this as being OK because they think when a metal is "inert" not likely to cause chemical reactions it is not an issue. But that shows a fundamental lack of understanding of Biochemistry. Small single molecules like minerals (broadly the "good" guys we need in our body) and heavy metals (the "bad" guys) have important roles in our body. They BIND to larger molecules and affect their function. So while not a chemical reaction, they are important pieces. And each heavy metal has a similar mineral (based on placement in periodic table, so that metal can bind in those spots instead of the mineral (e.g. zinc, calcium, magnesium, copper etc.) and then disrupt the normal function of that molecule. And this is major when you have so much heavy metals (ratio to minerals also matters here) that now most of those molecules do not work optimally. You can test your own blood levels for heavy metals (which indicates active exposure) and some do hair analysis to indicate overall exposure and stores. But we can assume we all have heavy metals due to how much they are used in our world nowadays. They are prevalent in food, cosmetics, air, water etc. But when you know you have an implant of a certain metal (also dental) you can target your detox efforts on that metal. Do your research and don't be aggressive with it when you have an implant. Certain chelation agents or IV can be too much when you have an implant. But you can always support your body in excreting it , lots of pure water (mineral water preffered, or distilled/osmosis water and added minerals). You want to increase your minerals... our food due to soil depletion is often lacking and then we don't eat enough plants..... but flood your body with minerals to crowd out the heavy metals. Water and sweating helps to get the heavy metals out, but also takes out minerals (why you want to add minerals in your water and drink extra minerals if you do infrared sauna or sports). You can also look into milder detox agents like modified citrus pectin that will bind to titanium and excrete it. This way you won't re-absorb it from your intestine into the blood, but get them OUT.
A lot of people can’t stand mineral sunscreen so end up not using sunscreen at all when they fear chemical sunscreens. I love beauty of Josefina sunscreen by the way! It has great price, great texture, and great protection without irritating my skin nor leaving a greasy white cast.
Yes this is the best sunscreen! It's not shiny and I put it right around my eyes and it is the only one I have found that doesn't sting them or make them water. Love it!
Two other products that kinda work like magic: - testosterone propionate cream (there is a study on old folks in a nursing home) - fully ozonated mono- or poly-unsaturated oils, like olive oil or avocado (forms a solid gel like substance)
I wish you would stress the importance of the PPD rating (or PA rating for the asian sunscreens equivalent) to protect from UVA, because that's the actual part that prevents skin photoaging.
Thank you for this information. They need to make mineral sunscreen less thick. It’s truly impossible to walk in a white mask n then reapply? Only easy for men without makeup.
@@DrBradStanfield Please make a video on effect of screen time (mobile, TV, Monitor) on skin ageing. Does light emitted by them cause ageing? Do sunscreens protect against that light?
The CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 has terrible reviews. I saw some people with the white face and it looked awful. I would not want to walk around looking like that. Only 15% of reviews on their website recommend this. Disclosure. I have used Cera Ve Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Hydrating Facial Cleanser and Skin Renewing Retinol Serum for years. They are excellent skin care products...
@@Greg_Chock I didn't read all 786 reviews but there equal number of 1 star as 5 star which is pretty bad. I read about 4 pages of reviews and I'd say most of them mentioned the white cast/face that looked like a clown face. Some people found ways around it like mixing it with a moisturizer in small amounts, but that may negate the SPF 50. Either way, many CeraVe users, of which I am one, were not happy at all with the product. I'm sure it works because mineral sun blockers sit on top of skin and not absorbed so the white caste won't go away.
I'll always remember the 30 year old who played tennis outdoors all the time. Her skin looked like Leather! Sunscreen makes my skin brown speckled, because my melanin is scattered (I can't get a tan, just a "malt-o-meal complexion". I never use "sun screen"; I wear hats. Zinc oxide, I thought, would completely block the sun's rays, but that was NOT true; using zinc oxide, my skin still reacted to sunlight with a speckled "malt-o-meal complexion". For me, blocking the sun's rays with clothes is BEST.
The sunscreen i use has chemical filters, but they're also not on the FDA list. Mine has 4 filters which are Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Polysilicone-15. Do I assume these should be safe? Or is it better to be cautious with these ones too?
I have literally just seen a cosmetic surgeon about a possible facelift as many Life traumas have left me with Deputy Dawg-style jowls and droopy eyelids. He studied my face and said I could save myself a fortune (and a facelift) just by doing facial exercises to tone my face and also taking collagen supplements. I’m doing both now!
I like La Roche Posey sunscreen. Also, First Aid Beauty mineral sunscreen At night I have been using Dr. Jart. Thanks for the video. I cannot use retinol.
As a man who had never used creams or moistures I would love a more beginner video where you explain your routine. I didn’t quite understand what you do with those Exfolates on Monday and Thursday.
Unfortunately, I react to niacinimide. It cause weeping and skin peeling - essentially like allergic dermatitis. I have to be careful to read the ingredients on everything.
Covering with clothes is the best sunscreen.. thick cotton, linen, long sleeve, high neck is the best.. also, a shawl, large hat, long pants.. Protect the hands, the feet, they have a thin skin that burns easily.. Food: eat tomatoes, oranges, carrots, beets, green leafy plants, lots of protein, fruits.. WATER.. hidration is the best for skin.
Thats absurd. Any citrus oils are known to burns on the skin and i dont mean just sunburns. And the other 2 have no spf except co may have a very low spf 5 or 7.
@auricia201 Mine is 15% ascorbic acid with ferulic acid and vitamin e stabilised at around ph 3.5 so fairly acidic. So it's a 2 in 1, antioxidant and due to the acidity a bit exfoliant.
@@bethaustin1884 the Aqua fresh is definitely a lot lighter on my skin and in terms of texture. I’m a guy and my skin is oily so Aqua Fresh is perfect for my skin. If you have dry skin I’d recommend the OG formula they have
I heard they have the best sunscreens in Israel, they are not available in the U.S.. And I have also heard that the sunscreens in the U.S. have endocrine disrupters.
I used coconut oil on my face, yes the thick organic all winter of 2022 because of so many surgeries I think my skin was so dry. The summer of 2023, I could barely get a tan. I know that coconut oil is some kind of sunscreen
I am shocked that titanium dioxide doesn’t block UVA well , as a mineral sunscreen and therefore a physical block I always thought it HAD to be board spectrum as it is physically stopping it

sun screen always eventually gets in my eyes.
Try using a Korean sunscreen. I find they don’t burn like American ones do when they get in the eyes
avoid applying lotion any closer than where eyebrow starts. So no sunscreen within a cm of your eye. Your sunglasses usually have it covered anyway.
Use sunscreen that doesn't irritate eyes.

And my hair is 90% black with 10% gray. I still weigh the same (190 lbs.) when I was 24 years old (1984) and the same height, 6'1". One more thing, I don't feel like I'm in my 40's, but more like my 80's.
How do you get to be the same height? I've lost two inches, and I'm 62.
@@davidwelburn Perhaps it was that I never drank alcoholic beverages, smoke and never became obese. I loved eating eggs when I was young, and still do as an old man. Started weightlifting when I was 14 years old (1974).
@@michaeltorres638 Thanks, Michael. I've never smoked or been obese, but I do drink alcohol, though not much. I started weightlifting at 16 but did calisthenics for a couple of years before that. I think I went a bit too far on the heavy squats and deadlifts (proportional to my frame) though, so that might not have helped.
@@michaeltorres638We have a friend who turned 105 last august. She goes to the casino every Friday and Saturday to play poker. She only takes one medication for her blood pressure which she started to take in her late 90s. She doesn’t need eyeglasses, plays the stock market on her phone and has done extremely well. She is remarkable. Just like you, she never drank, never smoked, never gained weight and ate 3 soft boiled eggs every single day for the past 105 years. She also says adaptability is one of the most important quality in life.
You feel like you’re in your 80’s that doesn’t make sense with the rest of your statement. So all is good but how you feel almost 20 years older. Huh
I live in Queensland, Australia. We have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world: not surprising I guess when you put a mostly fair-skinned people in the literal tropics and near-tropics. Weirdly, most of us accept this and get visible sun damage by early middle age, and everyone knows people who have had one or lots of skin cancers cut out. It's sort of a cultural norm. If you actually use sunscreen, it is for preventing the pain of getting burned at work or the beach, not to improve cosmetic appearance.
I'm one of the rare ones that applies it every day. Because my dermatologist told me to. As part of treatment for... sun damaged skin 😂
I use baking soda and water to gently cleanse... then i apply a little castor oil thinned with coconut oil for the day. At night, I splash my face with warm water, then̈ cold water, then warm water, and then I apply only castor oil and cover that with a thin layer of vaseline. It is the best, cheapest skincare routine I've ever done. It works. I've been told 😊 I'm not a sun bunny, never was, but i like to garden, so quite interested in this video about sunscreen. Learned lots!

You have missed mentioning the PA+++ label on sunscreens, other than SPF. These deal with UVA and UVB respectively
Thank you for your science based recommendations.
I, uhhhh, have been treating with 5-Flurouracil (5FU) cream for skin cancer (nasty situation) but after the treatment and after all the pain of dead cancerous tissues coming off my face and neck, the wrinkles were greatly reduced and even looking and feeling tighter like more collagen formed. Could it be we white folks get skin cancer (sun damaged skin) without even knowing it is cancerous? My skin cancer was hidden for the most part, my dermatologist thought I just had a few solar keratosis spots. Treatment with 5FU cream the skin erupted with skin cancer all over the place, and on my face, neck, and arms - the places where the sun was hitting most frequently. I am trying to get onto a clinical trial for Libtayo or Keytruda (monoclonal antibodies) to clear most or all skin cancer from my body. I am guessing if I get that treatment I will find my wrinkles and skin will smooth out and the skin will tighten up. I am wondering if skin cancer hides on healthy people, the immune system keeping it dormant for the most part, and I also wonder if we are looking at skin cancer thinking it is normal skin when it really is not.
I have never heard of this but I will be doing some research later... what you describe kind of sounds like a chemical peel, so I'm skeptical, but if it can effectively de-age skin...
precancerous cells ?
Avoiding direct sun exposure is really the best to prevent skin aging. I use mineral sunscreen only. SPF 30.
New data says this is incorrect. Sun exposure stimulates collagen production which is key to healthy skin. Moderation is the key.

Unless radon gas exposure is above 600 bequerels.
Appreciate the push for people to wear sunscreen more, but there's still lots of (quite common) misconceptions about sunscreen filters being perpetuated here. For those trying to get into the habit of sun protection and want to learn about sunscreen safety, Lab Muffin busts many of these myths and is a godsend! She's covered the benzene scare as well if you'd like to hear more on it Dr. Stanfield!
Absolutely …… Dr Michelle Wong (lab muffin) is the only RUclipsr I completely trust !
European sunscreens are considered by many as superior to Korean as the Korean sunscreens are only useful during incidental sun exposure !!
The filters in eg LRP. are considered by many dermatologists to be “better”
I do have to say though that Korean sunscreens and skincare tend to be more cosmetically elegant ‘
@@Sheenoshine Yep! Culture plays into this as well - East Asians value fair skin and take sun avoidance pretty seriously, so the average sunscreen has to look good for daily, casual wear. The trade-off is most sacrifice water resistance for a lighter finish. Westerners are more into a 'healthy' tan, so sunscreens are meant for preventing actual burns while they're on the beach and such. Naturally they won't look or feel as nice, but I feel like that's changing as more people get into daily sunscreen wear :)
My Mother In Law died at ninety two. Her face and neck looked like a 30yr old. Everybody she met asked what she did to keep her skin so soft and smooth. Get ready for this, you won't believe it...... Vaseline. Honest, True, I watched her put it on every day.
i heard vaseline blocks the poors
@@marinad6228I’ve used Vaseline and I’m never rich
I use the CeraVe pm during the day too. It’s great. I find that it particularly works great to flatten out any under eye puffiness right away. I pat a little extra on that area every morning.
Chemical sunscreens make my skin itch and sting: that"s MY "pushback." And, while the mineral blockers are cheap in themselves, sunscreens that contain ONLY those are (usually) outrageously expensive.
You have to choose between wrinkles and earlier death, I fear. A study on 50'000 Swedish women found a 50% death rate reduction on those who went out regularly. Nowadays, people have an ever decreasing vitamine-D-level due to ever less time spent and moved outdoors, partially also due to sunscreen. But we evolved to stay outdoors summer and winter at least 5 hours daily, if you are living at an altitude corresponding to your skin type. Then we will hardly suffer from the different diseases caused by insufficient exposure to UV-A, UV-B and Infrared. Our skin will adapt gradually according to sun intensity, no sunburn possible then.
Not mention those 5 hours a day were spent exercising (hunting, farming, etc).
@@GramGramGenX-ln5sc I don't know what you mean, but I chose the 5 hours which were found with contemporary hunters-gatherers.
Hi Dr. Stanfield, I looked carefully at the ingredients listed on the box of Beauty of Joseon Daily Sunscreen for face and based on the product information, there is no specific mention of whether the Beauty of Joseon Daily Relief Sunscreen contains bemotrizinol. Furthermore, I checked the other three Korean sunscreen you mentioned, they do not mention bemotrizinol.
Look for “BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXPHENYL TRIAZINE.”
Generally you won’t see “Bemotrizinol” or “BEMT” or “Tinosorb S” listed, but they are all the same thing.
I checked these sunscreens too and they all contain Octinoxate, which is one of the chemicals that can disrupt hormones.
Parasol or big hat is easy and provides free shade.
Yeah but who wants to look like a comedy figure with a parasol 😭
Once again it's the preventative measure that works best, and that picture is really convincing.
Green tea helps prevent sunburn
I remember reading somewhere that mineral sunscreen also absorbs UV rays. Both mineral and chemical sunscreens, in a sense, work the same.
Just looking at my work issued Cancer Council of Australia Broadspectrum 50+ sunscreen and the last ingredient at 1.5% is Bemotrizinol... but it also has Octocrylene at 2% as the second last ingredient, plus a bunch of other stuff.
Does anyone ever question these chemicals we humans are leaving in every pool, lake, and ocean?
You must do a video on nootropics, and which ones are beneficial and ones that are over hyped
so what about the la roche posay you recommended before as the best? im confused.
Isn't there a lot of data showing titanium oxide (especially smaller nano formulations) also enter the bloodstream and titanium is definitely not good to have in the body.
What about titanium implants (hip, knee, etc.) a lot of people have?
@@vaska1999 Great question! Titanium implants are not great to have in the body. Every implant has their own issues, but with titanium implants you do get titanium molecules leaking into your bloodstream. And it is a heavy metal. Modern medicine is not very well clued in about the effects of heavy metals, but when you look at more modern and science based approaches to medicine it is well recognized how heavy metals are a problem when it comes to health.
Here to show that it is known that the metals leech into the blood (and then other tissues as it has to go somewhere or be excreted) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9380337/
Medicine justifies this as being OK because they think when a metal is "inert" not likely to cause chemical reactions it is not an issue. But that shows a fundamental lack of understanding of Biochemistry. Small single molecules like minerals (broadly the "good" guys we need in our body) and heavy metals (the "bad" guys) have important roles in our body. They BIND to larger molecules and affect their function. So while not a chemical reaction, they are important pieces. And each heavy metal has a similar mineral (based on placement in periodic table, so that metal can bind in those spots instead of the mineral (e.g. zinc, calcium, magnesium, copper etc.) and then disrupt the normal function of that molecule. And this is major when you have so much heavy metals (ratio to minerals also matters here) that now most of those molecules do not work optimally.
You can test your own blood levels for heavy metals (which indicates active exposure) and some do hair analysis to indicate overall exposure and stores. But we can assume we all have heavy metals due to how much they are used in our world nowadays. They are prevalent in food, cosmetics, air, water etc. But when you know you have an implant of a certain metal (also dental) you can target your detox efforts on that metal.
Do your research and don't be aggressive with it when you have an implant. Certain chelation agents or IV can be too much when you have an implant. But you can always support your body in excreting it , lots of pure water (mineral water preffered, or distilled/osmosis water and added minerals). You want to increase your minerals... our food due to soil depletion is often lacking and then we don't eat enough plants..... but flood your body with minerals to crowd out the heavy metals. Water and sweating helps to get the heavy metals out, but also takes out minerals (why you want to add minerals in your water and drink extra minerals if you do infrared sauna or sports).
You can also look into milder detox agents like modified citrus pectin that will bind to titanium and excrete it. This way you won't re-absorb it from your intestine into the blood, but get them OUT.
@@vaska1999 I just left a long comment, but now I do not see it. Let me know if you got it.
A lot of mineral spf add Butolctyl Salicylate, it supposedly add similarly as chemical spf filters. Something to bear in mind.
True! A lot of people can’t tolerate salicylates in their skin care products, as well as their food. Many have aspirin allergy.
A lot of people can’t stand mineral sunscreen so end up not using sunscreen at all when they fear chemical sunscreens. I love beauty of Josefina sunscreen by the way! It has great price, great texture, and great protection without irritating my skin nor leaving a greasy white cast.
Thank you for the quarterly reminder to put sunscreen on the front of my neck.
Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 zinc oxide is lightly tinted, fragrance-free, reasonably priced, and not tested on animals.✅️
Last part is bummer. I don't want to be a guinea pig. Test on animals first
Is it greasy? Thanks ❤
Yes this is the best sunscreen! It's not shiny and I put it right around my eyes and it is the only one I have found that doesn't sting them or make them water. Love it!
@glennnolan1 Thank you, sounds just what I am looking for! ❤️
Two other products that kinda work like magic:
- testosterone propionate cream (there is a study on old folks in a nursing home)
- fully ozonated mono- or poly-unsaturated oils, like olive oil or avocado (forms a solid gel like substance)
Is it peanut butter?
I wish you would stress the importance of the PPD rating (or PA rating for the asian sunscreens equivalent) to protect from UVA, because that's the actual part that prevents skin photoaging.
I use Hello Bello (in the US), spf 50 with 20% zinc oxide and a bunch of plant extracts. A few inactive ingredients to bulk it up and not much else.
TIZO and COTZ both have good minerals sunscreens. Both are expensive, but COTZ is less so, and comes in larger tubes.
I find astaxanthin cream helps repair and prevent sun damage.
Wow! Interesting . I take astaxsanthin & leutin supplements for my eyes. Suppose to help with age related Macular degeneration.
Thank you for this information. They need to make mineral sunscreen less thick. It’s truly impossible to walk in a white mask n then reapply? Only easy for men without makeup.

The CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 has terrible reviews. I saw some people with the white face and it looked awful. I would not want to walk around looking like that. Only 15% of reviews on their website recommend this. Disclosure. I have used Cera Ve Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Hydrating Facial Cleanser and Skin Renewing Retinol Serum for years. They are excellent skin care products...
Are they basing their reviews on appearance? I guess you have to choose between how you look and skin protection
@@Greg_Chock I didn't read all 786 reviews but there equal number of 1 star as 5 star which is pretty bad. I read about 4 pages of reviews and I'd say most of them mentioned the white cast/face that looked like a clown face. Some people found ways around it like mixing it with a moisturizer in small amounts, but that may negate the SPF 50. Either way, many CeraVe users, of which I am one, were not happy at all with the product. I'm sure it works because mineral sun blockers sit on top of skin and not absorbed so the white caste won't go away.
I'll always remember the 30 year old who played tennis outdoors all the time. Her skin looked like Leather! Sunscreen makes my skin brown speckled, because my melanin is scattered (I can't get a tan, just a "malt-o-meal complexion". I never use "sun screen"; I wear hats. Zinc oxide, I thought, would completely block the sun's rays, but that was NOT true; using zinc oxide, my skin still reacted to sunlight with a speckled "malt-o-meal complexion". For me, blocking the sun's rays with clothes is BEST.
The sunscreen i use has chemical filters, but they're also not on the FDA list. Mine has 4 filters which are Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Polysilicone-15. Do I assume these should be safe? Or is it better to be cautious with these ones too?

I have literally just seen a cosmetic surgeon about a possible facelift as many Life traumas have left me with Deputy Dawg-style jowls and droopy eyelids.

Covering with clothes is the best sunscreen..
thick cotton, linen, long sleeve, high neck is the best.. also, a shawl, large hat, long pants..
Protect the hands, the feet, they have a thin skin that burns easily..
Food: eat tomatoes, oranges, carrots, beets, green leafy plants, lots of protein, fruits..
WATER.. hidration is the best for skin.
Coconut oil, patchouli oil, 🍋 and lime as well as sandalwood soap help block sun damage and maintain balance
Thats absurd. Any citrus oils are known to burns on the skin and
i dont mean just sunburns. And the other 2 have no spf except co may have a very low spf 5 or 7.
Not citrus?
Always keeping it real.
I use Vitamin C as an exfoliant instead of AHA. The AHA's and BHA's seem to be too harsh for me.
@auricia201 Mine is 15% ascorbic acid with ferulic acid and vitamin e stabilised at around ph 3.5 so fairly acidic. So it's a 2 in 1, antioxidant and due to the acidity a bit exfoliant.
The best oil for the skin without a doubt is Castrol GTX. I'm 86 and look 35 because I apply Castrol GTX every night for 40 years.
