One thing that always baffles me - sunscreens are very expensive. To find a good non-irritating, non-sticky, elegantly looking sunscreen, you need to start with £25 (I'm UK based) and go up for 50/60 ml containers. Especially if you are looking for cruelty-free brands. Last summer I just bought a cheap broad-spectrum 'beach' sunscreen for outdoors activities and gave up looking 'good'.
Try Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum Chemical Sunscreen. Their is a body and face one, their are the exact same thing. I put the body one on my face. The face one is more expensive and you get a smaller tube. They’re both the exact same thing.
Your channel is exploding! That's what happens when you share bomb content. It's so so helpful to have professionals out here sharing the knowledge. Merci beaucoup pour tout que tu partages! ❤️ From Jamaica
Feeling lowkey proud of myself because 5 of my friends are wearing sunscreen every single day now because I gave them a whole ass presentation 😂😂 Edit: Im actually so impressed that you included the part about physical sunscreens doing a little bit of boath! Even some really credible dermatologist still think that physical sunscreens work only by scattering uv👍👍
You should talk about how Asia and Europe have more advanced chemical filters for better UVA protection than we have in the US. I recently started using the LaRoche Posay Anthelios Shaka Fluid with Spf 50 and it supposedly has the most UVA protection of any sunscreen made. It’s also safe for sensitive eyes. You have to get the European version though to get the better UVA coverage.
@@anniec9232 yes the fda here is very slow with approving new spf filters so we are only allowed to use a small limited amount, none of the newer ones. I almost always buy my sunscreens from Asia to get the PA++++ or on occasion I’ll get a French one.
There's actually no claim that they have the highest UVA protection. There's a UK sunscreen with the same filters, as well as Titanium Dioxide. Altruist Face Fluid
Quick warning guys: A creator here on RUclips contacted First Aid Beauty about the grittiness of the sunscreen. They actually acknowledged that its not meant to be gritty and that they are going to fix it. This very recently so I would encourage everyone to be a little cautious(its probably fine but its worth noting)
The Fenty one is LOVELY. Completely transparent, smells super fresh, and leaves such a dewy light finish. Rihanna didn't just slap her name on something, she really took her time with this. 👌🏾
I battled with acne scars and pigmentation for years and it was only when I listened to Dr. Idriss and started wearing sunscreen and vitamin c that it started getting better!
Sunscreen doesn't block Vitamin D ? Tell me all about it, please !!! Congratulations, you changed my mind. No one has ever bothered to explain why using sunscreen is a must. You explained everything so well here....you changed my mind.
I’m studying to become an esthetician and I absolutely love the science behind the skin and ingredients. You are educated in this field and I firmly believe we need more of that in a world full of “beauty/skin influencers”
Finding a sunscreen formulation that is effective, affordable, works on your skin cosmetically, doesn't burn your eyes or react badly with other products, and is ethical is so hard 😭. Moving away from a brand that has a good sunscreen but tests on animals, finding a sunscreen from another brand that performs really well and is cruelty free, only to find our that it is not environmentally friendly 😖, running out of places to look at this point. For what is hailed to be the most important step in your routine, it's ao difficult to find the right one that doesn't actually end up causing problems
Have you biossance mineral sunscreen? I’m p sure they’re sustainable and cruelty-free? it will burn if you put too much around your eyes so i just put a bit on my brow bones and under eyes. I feel like sweat/heat helps it travel to the eyelid anyway. (i have very sensitive skin, eczema around my eyes and i still love this sunscreen)

Hi Shereen, my daughter Amanda told me how great you are, and now I’m obsessed with all your videos and Pillow Talk! Thank you for educated me on the best way to take care of my skin!!!! Keep up the great work.
I know there are some company’s making foundations with SPF like Ilia. A video with some foundation recommendations or a walk through of if they are physical or chemical sunscreens would be super helpful! Thanks for making these videos, learning so much!
I’ve been a dedicated IG follower for a while now and I had never realised you had a YT channel?! Been binge watching all weekend unable to stop. The quality content you provide is beyond helpful, thank you🙏🏽❤️
I'm a swimmer and use a water proof sunscreen. My face gets so tan in the summer, no matter how much sunscreen I use and how much I protect myself from the sun, because sunscreen just fades away for two hours while I swim. No sunscreen is water proof.
thanks for such a comprehensive explanation of UV rays and filters- although can you please give your thoughts on newer organic filters like Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, Uvinul A plus, etc that are approved and used in the EU? they apparently offer even better UVA protection than zinc and titanium. also your husband walking in on every video is just too funny x
I wish you would develop your own brand of sunscreen since you are so knowledgeable and aware of what is bad for the environment. I’m 58 y.o. and like a bit of moisturizer and a bit of color in my sunscreen. Thank you for all of the knowledge you share. 😊
Can you please make a video about layering spf’s? Also there are videos showing that, for example, a powder with spf doesn’t give so much coverage as an spf, but what if you layer a primer, a foundation, a powder and other makeup products with spf? How much coverage would that give under the uv light? Thank you for taking the time to give free informations to people around the globe.
It will be the same number of spf protection, but more even and since people usually under apply the required amount, you will be getting the number on the label. Ex. If you apply a quarter of the required amount for face, then you only get a quarter of the protection that is labeled. Layering multiple spfs will increase the chances of having the protection that you want. Best is to also wear shades, hats, cover up as much as possible

I got I into skincare more too lately, use to just cleanse and moisturize Now I got a double cleanse step, oil and water base with acids and then vitamin C, lotion and mineral sunscreen topped with a hat if I’m going outside lmao
im literally at the point where i don't care about how sunscreen will look on my face i just want them to don't break me out, itch or weirdly dehydrate my skin (?), i tried a lot of different types of suncreen and i don't even have money for that lol
When I am doing work in my yard I will use non-tinted mineral sunscreen because I don’t care what I look like while doing labor but when I go out I will use a tinted sunscreen and have stopped using foundation.
I break out easily too and after trying many different sunscreens I landed on Sun Bum SPF 70 Face Lotion. I’ve been using it for a month and it hasn’t broke me out yet. I don’t recommend the Face SPF 50....only the 70. The SPF 50 has a harmful ingredient (according to NO BS Beauty.) They updated the formula and removed that ingredient on the SPF 70 but I see they still sell the SPF 50 🤷🏻♀️. Just make sure you choose the SPF 70. It’s the bomb 🏆
I am especially grateful for the tip about methoxycinnamates being octinoxate. That ingredient hides in a lot of beauty products. I don’t know why it’s included in so many formulas, but it’s great for consumers to be aware of it. I noticed it because I read every ingredient list looking for allergens.
Frankly I love your channel because I learn new stuff. Most videos about skincare keep saying the same things, while you actually explain how things work and not only why it is good/bad for us. Thank you!
I'm still so nervous about using sunscreen as a daily/mostly daily thing. I'm always concerned about the products I use most often, if they are harmful over time. I'm afraid about chemicals or substances getting into my skin
I am so happy with your chanel. You give real information about skincare. There is a lot influencers that aren’t doctors and they start to recommend products and some of them aren’t good for everyone and people believe them but thanks God you are here as a doctor and provide proper information
@@IsabellaTrevallion1123 I don’t think my boys would agree with the procedures of double cleanse... it’s hard enough to get them do any cleansing. How do you get your kids to do double cleanse? Please share this miracle experience! Thanks!
I am 16 and I used to double cleanse with Oil and it made me break out. I use sunscreen every single day and I do not need to double cleanse. For me it depends on what skin needs, for my skin A gentle cleanser is enough. Double cleansing imo should be done by those who put lots on their face, like make-up.
I am literally eyeing a few sunscreens for a week already. The special thing about these is they are korean sunscreens. Will take in all the inputs and then decide which one to get! So I appreciate it a ton that you're making this content! 😍
I am extremely allergic to sunscreen as my face will literally swell up like a blow fish... not exaggerating. I have never used sunscreen on it's own... the problem has arisen in the past because the sunscreen was in a foundation... and this has happened several times to me. now I am extremely careful when purchasing a new foundation. But these experiences have left me traumatized and very fearful of trying sunscreens. Which brand of physical sunscreen would you recommend for someone like me. I followed your advice on retinols (another product I am highly allergic to) and purchased some A313 online and I am delighted that my skin can tolerate it and I am reaping the benefits!... I would love to add a sunscreen that would be safe for me too.
When talking about reef safe sunscreens, please consider that sunscreen residue that you wash off in the sink or shower can find its way into waterways that can eventually reach the ocean, especially if you are in a coastal city or near a river that leads to an ocean (most of them do). So, even if you are not going to the beach and just using sunscreen in the city, it might be best to use reef safe options. The oceans are already dying and under threat from so many sources; do your part to not contribute to the problem.
It's worth noting that science actually says that aside from potentially zinc, sunscreen isn't affecting coral reefs. But even zinc doesn't seem to be enough in the oceans to affect reefs. The ocean is huge and mixes itself around a lot so the tiny tiny amount of sunscreen in the ocean hasn't been shown to be in anywhere near high enough amounts to affect coral reefs.
I would love to see another sunscreen video, particularly on reappling without smearing the days' makeup 🙏 Should we look for powders (keeping brushes sanitary would be an issue), or a serum dabbed on? A spray? Anything in eco-friendly packaging? 🤯
For physical sunscreens I HIGHLY recommend the TIZO2 - it applies so smoothly and has a blurring / filter effect , so it doubles as a primer which works better than professional primers.
In addition to your knowledge and sense of humour, I gotta say I also really admire your ability to acgnowledge your husband loitering in the background eating a banana but without letting it derail you from what you are talking about. This is real-world adaptability and grace and rolling with the punches and I love to see it.
I am a transplant patient on immunosuppressants. So it’s super important for me to wear factor 50 sunscreen. Could you please do a post on sunscreens that you can wear over make up so I can top up in the day, especially as I’m working and often don’t have the time to remove make up, reapply sunscreen and fix my face again. Or are they even effective? It would be really good to know the science on this. Thank you so much for this informative post I found it REALLY helpful! Xoxo
When you have a play date and don’t shut You Tube off until they knock and start it back up as soon as they leave, the content is legit. Would love to hear more about vitamin D. My neurologist tells me not to wear sunscreen, because I was diagnosed with MS and need more vitamin D. (I wear it anyway) I should probably just get on pub med for some research to take to the next appointment. Have you looked into Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 30? It’s not a kid sunscreen, but my kids like it more than any of the tear free, baby or kid ones we’ve tried.
hurray.... she said namaste at the end....💕💕💕💌💌 just got excited because I'm from India.... It's my dream to meet her once in my life.........just love her .
I'm in love with littllextra riceberry sunscreen right now and I'm a big fan. I can apply a generous coat without feeling icky. It doesn't sting my eyes or taste awful if sweat drips into my eyes or mouth. The price is quite affordable compared to other facial sunscreens. For reference, I have mostly normal skin, slightly oily on my nose and chin, and mildly to moderately prone to acne unless I'm diligent with my skincare. I've been using it for a month and haven't had any breakouts or even an isolated large zit, so it's definitely not clogging my pores.
I'm British and have never used Inorganic Sunscreens . I've used Altruist Sunscreens most of this year and now using Beauty of Joseon Rice Relief Spf 50 . 👏😊🇬🇧🌈
I love the swiss brand Louis Widmer ALL DAY. It truly protects me for a veryyyyy long time. It's a liposomal UVA+UVB sunscreen. It comes in 20-30-50 SPF. I use the 30 & 50 for my body. For my face I use Uriage Bariésun 50SPF or Uriage Hyséac 50SPF (which is great when you easily break out in the sun).
The most in depth video on sunscreen I've ever seen! 💕 You mentioned so many things I didn't know - UVC, and the relationship between UVB and SPF were my favourites ❤️ Actually just watched your older video on sunscreen and am so glad you included examples of physical/mineral sunscreens in this one
My family and friends makes fun of me for reapplying sunscreen indoors (sunlight is always coming through the windows) it is good to know that I am actively protecting my skin :) Right know I'm using la roche- posay anthelios clear skin sunscreen and a mineral sunscreen around my eyes; I definitely try different sunscreens all the time. you're the best Dr. Idriss!
Reef safe sunscreen is basically just marketing. Sunscreen in the ocean (before any effort was made to change ingredients in sunscreen) were nowhere near high enough amounts to harm coral, the one study showing that was really flawed and not replicable. There are far far bigger factors at play affecting coral and that's where our energy should go. Zinc is the most likely to be a problem but despite less research into zinc affecting reefs, it's really not been shown to be enough concentrations to be a problem
Can someone tell me. Does reef safe matter if you don’t plan to go swimming in the ocean? Just in my day to day wearing a sunscreen I don’t plan on going anywhere near the ocean. But does what I wash down the drain in the shower affect the reef? Serious question.
Great video, as always!! Just a suggestion, it might be useful to include a bit more text of important keywords, for example oxybenzone and octinoxate when you're mentioning ingredients to steer away from to protect coral reefs. I must admit though, your editing skills have come a long way! 😂 Congrats, keep up the good work!! 😁
I have to tell you that you had taught me so much. I have good skin, but your suggestions have made it better and made it fun. I like your militancy re sunscreens! I agree with you! Thanks for making my skin glow. ❤❤❤
Thank you for empowering me with knowledge! Was contemplating a new spf purchase this spring and I will definitely make a better choice now. I love how you start with explaining the words and I really appreciate the eco friendly perspective ✨ and you look beautiful in purple!
It would be super helpful if you could do a video on skin type routines from the drug/grocery store! I'm always trying to figure out how to encorperate ingredients you mention without breaking the bank or ending up at sephora since I will impulse buy everything hahaha. also I reeeally love super goop sunscreens!! 😍😍
@@themindhelp9584 I have tried many moisturizer combos and unfortunately have not found a suitable one. So will have to stick to the current sunscreen I have
@@ye23. im living in the UK at the moment and i found at the superdrug store a moisturizer with spf 30 ..its called Acnecide and its only 7.99 ..i bought just to see you know if its good..if it doesn t leave the white cast, if its absorbing well...girl i am shockkkkkk after the day i bought it I had to come back to the store to buy myself another 5 cause im intending to use this religiously and plenty ..every 2h ( i don t use foundation, only concealer and some contour and blush - and i have applied it on top of these and it works out perfectly!!) its super light, doesn t have the strong chemical odour, absorbs in seconds, doesn t sit heavy on the skin. Can t recommend it enough!!! im so happy that i found it
No matter what type of sunscreen I try, my eyes burn like crazy. I avoid my eyes at all costs and they still burn no matter what. Please recommend a good sunscreen for sensitive eyes!
Doc, you never really mentioned how often to reapply- for us reg people (not playing sports or sweating it off, or swimming, which seems obvious to reapply after swimming or sports), but those of us working inside, maybe a walk outside once a day, sometimes working near a window but not all day, sometimes driving. And also how often to reapply if outside most of the day, walking outside, in the sun? I’ve heard from some that we shoud reapply once an hour, but then I’ve heard from others that once in the morning is fine. HELP!!
Ever since a family member was diagnosed with melanoma (still pretty early, thankfully) I've put sunscreen on every day. My family are pretty much all Fitzpatrick type 1s, so I should have started long ago. I could do better with reapplication, but it's a start.
I always encourage people to just start! It makes a difference already. 3 months ago I still wasn’t applying sunscreen daily and then I just build it up to daily, twice a day and now I can say I am a suncreen-aholic.
You're my new fav!! Such genuine advice and a lovely voice💕 Have you ever done a video on tools like those blackhead removing sticks? Do they make your pores bigger in the long run?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I love your sense of humor, but also thorough explanations! The nerd in me values it. Also, your husband is truly a dear, and indeed, perfect timing. 😄
I also see a beauty chemist channel @labmuffinbeautyscience here, where she said there is no proper scientific data regarding the bleaching of coral reefs by sunscreen ingredients and there might be other variables to it. Also she said nano zinc oxide particles spreads better than non nano ones, giving better coverage.

I am especially grateful for the tip about methoxycinnamates being octinoxate. That ingredient hides in a lot of beauty products. I don’t know why it’s included in so many formulas, but it’s great for consumers to be aware of it. I noticed it because I read every ingredient list looking for allergens.
Frankly I love your channel because I learn new stuff. Most videos about skincare keep saying the same things, while you actually explain how things work and not only why it is good/bad for us. Thank you!
Perhaps my favourite video from you. You explain sunscreen theory and applications so cohesive! It cleared away many years of sunscreen confusion. 👌
I'm still so nervous about using sunscreen as a daily/mostly daily thing. I'm always concerned about the products I use most often, if they are harmful over time. I'm afraid about chemicals or substances getting into my skin
I am so happy with your chanel. You give real information about skincare. There is a lot influencers that aren’t doctors and they start to recommend products and some of them aren’t good for everyone and people believe them but thanks God you are here as a doctor and provide proper information
on another note, how do kids "double cleanse" or how do/should they wash off the sunscreen that we pile on them? pls answer this one!
Use an oil based cleanser first ( I like Ren) then a gentle water, gel or cream cleanser after x
@@IsabellaTrevallion1123 I don’t think my boys would agree with the procedures of double cleanse... it’s hard enough to get them do any cleansing. How do you get your kids to do double cleanse? Please share this miracle experience! Thanks!
@@user-to2hh3yq4z I don’t have any kids so I I’m not the best person to comment on this!!
I am 16 and I used to double cleanse with Oil and it made me break out. I use sunscreen every single day and I do not need to double cleanse. For me it depends on what skin needs, for my skin A gentle cleanser is enough. Double cleansing imo should be done by those who put lots on their face, like make-up.
I‘d be very interested in this answer as well and PLEASE also refer to babies!
I am literally eyeing a few sunscreens for a week already. The special thing about these is they are korean sunscreens.
Will take in all the inputs and then decide which one to get!
So I appreciate it a ton that you're making this content! 😍
I am extremely allergic to sunscreen as my face will literally swell up like a blow fish... not exaggerating. I have never used sunscreen on it's own... the problem has arisen in the past because the sunscreen was in a foundation... and this has happened several times to me. now I am extremely careful when purchasing a new foundation. But these experiences have left me traumatized and very fearful of trying sunscreens.
Which brand of physical sunscreen would you recommend for someone like me.
I followed your advice on retinols (another product I am highly allergic to) and purchased some A313 online and I am delighted that my skin can tolerate it and I am reaping the benefits!... I would love to add a sunscreen that would be safe for me too.
When talking about reef safe sunscreens, please consider that sunscreen residue that you wash off in the sink or shower can find its way into waterways that can eventually reach the ocean, especially if you are in a coastal city or near a river that leads to an ocean (most of them do). So, even if you are not going to the beach and just using sunscreen in the city, it might be best to use reef safe options. The oceans are already dying and under threat from so many sources; do your part to not contribute to the problem.
What’s reef safe sunscreens? Particular ingredients or brands?
It's worth noting that science actually says that aside from potentially zinc, sunscreen isn't affecting coral reefs. But even zinc doesn't seem to be enough in the oceans to affect reefs. The ocean is huge and mixes itself around a lot so the tiny tiny amount of sunscreen in the ocean hasn't been shown to be in anywhere near high enough amounts to affect coral reefs.
I would love to see another sunscreen video, particularly on reappling without smearing the days' makeup 🙏 Should we look for powders (keeping brushes sanitary would be an issue), or a serum dabbed on? A spray? Anything in eco-friendly packaging? 🤯
Don't use powders or sprays if you want proper coverage, lab muffin has videos on these, she suggests using a makeup sponge to dab on sunscreen lotion
THE BEST NO BS DERMATOLOGIST!!! LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU
Thank you for talking about the environment! This is the first video I’ve seen with this information and I’ve been looking for it forever!
For physical sunscreens I HIGHLY recommend the TIZO2 - it applies so smoothly and has a blurring / filter effect , so it doubles as a primer which works better than professional primers.
Can you do a video on spf lipgloss that have colour in them? See what the colour looks like, if they taste bad, if the spf is enough, etc.
In addition to your knowledge and sense of humour, I gotta say I also really admire your ability to acgnowledge your husband loitering in the background eating a banana but without letting it derail you from what you are talking about. This is real-world adaptability and grace and rolling with the punches and I love to see it.
Seeing an Arab succeeds makes my heart melt. Je te souhaite plein de bonheur et de succès ❤
I am a transplant patient on immunosuppressants. So it’s super important for me to wear factor 50 sunscreen. Could you please do a post on sunscreens that you can wear over make up so I can top up in the day, especially as I’m working and often don’t have the time to remove make up, reapply sunscreen and fix my face again. Or are they even effective? It would be really good to know the science on this. Thank you so much for this informative post I found it REALLY helpful! Xoxo
When you have a play date and don’t shut You Tube off until they knock and start it back up as soon as they leave, the content is legit.
Would love to hear more about vitamin D. My neurologist tells me not to wear sunscreen, because I was diagnosed with MS and need more vitamin D. (I wear it anyway)
I should probably just get on pub med for some research to take to the next appointment.
Have you looked into Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 30? It’s not a kid sunscreen, but my kids like it more than any of the tear free, baby or kid ones we’ve tried.
I'm so glad I found your channel because it's helped my skin tons, and it's only been 3 days🤣
The only derm that talks about coral reef protection. Thank you!!
hurray.... she said namaste at the end....💕💕💕💌💌
just got excited because I'm from India.... It's my dream to meet her once in my life.........just love her .
YASSSS getting the recognition you deserve!! One of the only few people I trust with regards to skincare. Love your work Dr Shereene!!!
I’ve been using think sport spf for 2 years now. I love it.
I conceale the white cast with the pressed powder.
such a pretty look! if you make a sunscreen, please make the best uva protection sunscreen ever
I'm in love with littllextra riceberry sunscreen right now and I'm a big fan. I can apply a generous coat without feeling icky. It doesn't sting my eyes or taste awful if sweat drips into my eyes or mouth. The price is quite affordable compared to other facial sunscreens. For reference, I have mostly normal skin, slightly oily on my nose and chin, and mildly to moderately prone to acne unless I'm diligent with my skincare. I've been using it for a month and haven't had any breakouts or even an isolated large zit, so it's definitely not clogging my pores.
I'm British and have never used Inorganic Sunscreens . I've used Altruist Sunscreens most of this year and now using Beauty of Joseon Rice Relief Spf 50 . 👏😊🇬🇧🌈
I love the swiss brand Louis Widmer ALL DAY. It truly protects me for a veryyyyy long time. It's a liposomal UVA+UVB sunscreen. It comes in 20-30-50 SPF. I use the 30 & 50 for my body. For my face I use Uriage Bariésun 50SPF or Uriage Hyséac 50SPF (which is great when you easily break out in the sun).
The most in depth video on sunscreen I've ever seen! 💕 You mentioned so many things I didn't know - UVC, and the relationship between UVB and SPF were my favourites ❤️ Actually just watched your older video on sunscreen and am so glad you included examples of physical/mineral sunscreens in this one
I’m here from Vogue “Get ready with me” I have binged all your videos and share you channel with fam. Ty for all the knowledge.
I just want to let you know that your videos are THE BEST!
Yesssssss happy Saturday!!! Taking out my notebook and ready to make notes :) thank you 🙏
My family and friends makes fun of me for reapplying sunscreen indoors (sunlight is always coming through the windows) it is good to know that I am actively protecting my skin :) Right know I'm using la roche- posay anthelios clear skin sunscreen and a mineral sunscreen around my eyes; I definitely try different sunscreens all the time. you're the best Dr. Idriss!
I was scrolling through comments to ask someone lol..do I need to wear sunscreen if I’m always indoors?
Truly appreciate your efforts with keeping the reefs safe!
Reef safe sunscreen is basically just marketing. Sunscreen in the ocean (before any effort was made to change ingredients in sunscreen) were nowhere near high enough amounts to harm coral, the one study showing that was really flawed and not replicable. There are far far bigger factors at play affecting coral and that's where our energy should go. Zinc is the most likely to be a problem but despite less research into zinc affecting reefs, it's really not been shown to be enough concentrations to be a problem
Can someone tell me. Does reef safe matter if you don’t plan to go swimming in the ocean? Just in my day to day wearing a sunscreen I don’t plan on going anywhere near the ocean. But does what I wash down the drain in the shower affect the reef? Serious question.
Great video, as always!! Just a suggestion, it might be useful to include a bit more text of important keywords, for example oxybenzone and octinoxate when you're mentioning ingredients to steer away from to protect coral reefs.
I must admit though, your editing skills have come a long way! 😂 Congrats, keep up the good work!! 😁
I look forward to these videos every Sat!! Love them!
I have to tell you that you had taught me so much. I have good skin, but your suggestions have made it better and made it fun. I like your militancy re sunscreens! I agree with you! Thanks for making my skin glow. ❤❤❤
Thank you for empowering me with knowledge! Was contemplating a new spf purchase this spring and I will definitely make a better choice now. I love how you start with explaining the words and I really appreciate the eco friendly perspective ✨ and you look beautiful in purple!
It would be super helpful if you could do a video on skin type routines from the drug/grocery store! I'm always trying to figure out how to encorperate ingredients you mention without breaking the bank or ending up at sephora since I will impulse buy everything hahaha. also I reeeally love super goop sunscreens!! 😍😍
Dr what is the correct way to apply makeup and sunscreen together? Is it ok to put it on in this order - moisturizer, sunscreen and then foundation?
Yes its correct...but you should buy yourself a sunscreen which is also a moisturizer so you don t pile too much product on your face. ..
@@themindhelp9584 I have tried many moisturizer combos and unfortunately have not found a suitable one. So will have to stick to the current sunscreen I have
@@ye23. im living in the UK at the moment and i found at the superdrug store a moisturizer with spf 30 ..its called Acnecide and its only 7.99 ..i bought just to see you know if its good..if it doesn t leave the white cast, if its absorbing well...girl i am shockkkkkk after the day i bought it I had to come back to the store to buy myself another 5 cause im intending to use this religiously and plenty ..every 2h ( i don t use foundation, only concealer and some contour and blush - and i have applied it on top of these and it works out perfectly!!) its super light, doesn t have the strong chemical odour, absorbs in seconds, doesn t sit heavy on the skin. Can t recommend it enough!!! im so happy that i found it
No matter what type of sunscreen I try, my eyes burn like crazy. I avoid my eyes at all costs and they still burn no matter what. Please recommend a good sunscreen for sensitive eyes!
Yay another video. Your one of my favourite you tubers at the moment
Do you still get your vitamin d if you use sunscreen? Is it okay to be in the sun for a small amount of time without sunscreen to tan?
can you do a house tour? your bedroom is an aesthetic goal
good idea.
like her*chef‘s kiss
You nosy 😂🤭
@@blondiewendy no. it is very popular thing to do on You Tube. :)
Every time I watch this video, I get something new out of it. So much great information. Thank you❣️❣️💋
Hate hate when sunscreen going to my eyes when I am cycling (sweating)
Its painful AF.
What causes it? What ingredients should I avoid?
Why is the Husband always wearing puffer vests inside the house?? Hahah
I love your personality and your videos! My RUclips history is all you😂💗 I would LOVE to see a video about products for redness/rosacea😊
Yes to that!!
Thanks to you, I've started this year to wear every single day ❤️❤️❤️
Doc, you never really mentioned how often to reapply- for us reg people (not playing sports or sweating it off, or swimming, which seems obvious to reapply after swimming or sports), but those of us working inside, maybe a walk outside once a day, sometimes working near a window but not all day, sometimes driving.
And also how often to reapply if outside most of the day, walking outside, in the sun?
I’ve heard from some that we shoud reapply once an hour, but then I’ve heard from others that once in the morning is fine.
HELP!!
Ever since a family member was diagnosed with melanoma (still pretty early, thankfully) I've put sunscreen on every day. My family are pretty much all Fitzpatrick type 1s, so I should have started long ago. I could do better with reapplication, but it's a start.
I always encourage people to just start! It makes a difference already. 3 months ago I still wasn’t applying sunscreen daily and then I just build it up to daily, twice a day and now I can say I am a suncreen-aholic.
@@alyssavanblanckenberg1342 Sunscreen and Tretinoin have made a huge difference for me. I just need to learn to reapply!
You're my new fav!! Such genuine advice and a lovely voice💕 Have you ever done a video on tools like those blackhead removing sticks? Do they make your pores bigger in the long run?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I love your sense of humor, but also thorough explanations! The nerd in me values it. Also, your husband is truly a dear, and indeed, perfect timing. 😄
I’d love to learn about eye creams next? What ingredients do I need to look out for ? And which are pointless?
I also see a beauty chemist channel @labmuffinbeautyscience here, where she said there is no proper scientific data regarding the bleaching of coral reefs by sunscreen ingredients and there might be other variables to it. Also she said nano zinc oxide particles spreads better than non nano ones, giving better coverage.
I'm wondering how d you apply sunscreen after makeup, which also includes reapplying during the day with makeup on??
Yay i use Sun Bum. I'm so happy the doctor approves 😌
Finally it’s Saturday ❤️ we need at least 2 weekly videos 🤩
Glad I stuck it out till the end because the whole "vit D production being blocked by sunscreen" thing got me worried haha thanks for clearing that up
Purple is your colour! Thanks for all your grrat videos. They make my Saturday 😊
