UVA protection is shown by PA(PAA). PA(A)++++ is a very high protection. As was told in the video, UVB protection is measured in SPF factor (15/30/50/50+). I personally prefer a physical sunscreen. Though yes, most give you a white cast ( shade ), you can still find those, without it.
How about protecting our eyes from the sun? I never thought about vision issues being caused by the sun and that if you make sure your kids wear proper sunglasses when outside could help.
Hi!! Is wearing sunscreen improve sun damage skin? I have not been aware of using it in my childhood life, a reason for sun damage skin. Now i start using it, will it help me?
@@howtomedicate I would think that anything that blocks ultraviolet exposure would also prevent your body from making vitamin D. However, since over the counter vitamin D3 supplements are very effective, this is completely moot. I say stay out of the Sun as much as possible, take a vitamin D3 supplement, have your doctor monitor your vitamin D, adjust your dosage as needed and most importantly, use sunscreen with good UVA protection.
I would think.. And correct me if I’m wrong. The vitamin d metabism is stimulated by UVB. So in the winter you could use spf 15 because it will always block UVA but the vitamin d metabolism will be more because a lower spf equals a lower UVB blockage. And In the summer the exposure to UVB is enough and you need the protection against sunburn so use an spf 30 or 50.
Does homosalate, Octycrylene and octisalate go together with Uvinal A and Tinosorb M? I ask because I put a tinted spf over a Korean PA+++ and I don’t want to affect the effectiveness. I ask because I use the Korean sunscreen Beauty of Joseon and then I put IT cosmetics cc cream, SPF 40 over the top.
It's worth mentioning five things here: 1) non-burning UV exposure is critical to the proper function and development of the human body. People who chronically get insufficient non-burning UV exposure are at higher risk for obesity, metabolic syndrome, type I diabetes, type II diabetes, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, asthma, allergies, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, schizophrenia, statin intolerance, macular degeneration and myopia and have higher all-cause mortality rates than people who get sufficient non-burning UV exposure. Chronically insufficient non-burning UV exposure also makes one more susceptible to a wide range of infectious diseases. 2) There is no consistent evidence demonstrating that using sunscreens lowers one's risk of getting skin cancer. In fact, evidence suggests the opposite may be the case. 3) All active ingredients used in sunscreens have safety issues. Many of them are suspected carcinogens, many others are endocrine disruptors and some of them are both. Scientific studies have found that these chemicals are absorbed into the body and are detectable in the blood within minutes after sunscreen is applied to the skin. 4) Excessive use of sunscreen can lead to vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency and chronic insufficient UV exposure, along with the increased risk of the above mentioned health problems. 5) Malignant melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, is one of the easiest forms of cancer to diagnose and cure. It currently has a survival rate of 92%. All of the forms of cancer associated with chronic UV underexposure are more deadly than malignant melanoma. Most people in the developed world are now chronically UV underexposed, and it is the cause of a major public health problem.
i really love freckles and when i get sun burned i get freckles. if i wear sunscreen, will it still give me those mini freckles or that cute sun burned look?
Look up “freckle makeup” or “faux freckles.” There are products on the marks that make freckles look realistic and you don’t need to sacrifice your skin to get the look.
Good day doctor, I am chef cook and I am exposed to heat and i have melasma what is heat protection i use sunscreen or sunblock? Thank you and God bless
I've never used sunscreen and never will. If you notice when you're told to use sunscreen doctors and others tell you to use one with the highest factor number. They must be on a commission as the one they suggest is the highest factor therefor the most expensive.
@@glyn2370 In the video he said that factor didn't matter for the skin benefits. Factor only applies to how long you can stay in the sun without getting sunburbed.
Love this video! Great to see a RUclipsr raising awareness on sunscreen - especially a doctor. Keep up the great posts.
Hi Aesthetics Kitten,
Thank you! Sunscreen is important 👍
UVA protection is shown by PA(PAA). PA(A)++++ is a very high protection. As was told in the video, UVB protection is measured in SPF factor (15/30/50/50+).
I personally prefer a physical sunscreen. Though yes, most give you a white cast ( shade ), you can still find those, without it.
An excellently made video, very clear and concise. I hope many people can watch it, thank you doctor!
Thanks for the feedback Nico!
"The sun is trying to kill you" ...probably the greatest marketing/fear scam ever created.
You cleared up so many questions I had about sunscreen and its spf, thankyou so much this was very informative. I can now protect my skin better
This basically answered all my questions. Thank you for making such a good video
Great information.
Thanks Doc
Thank you Janice!
Very informative video! Thanks so much for sharing! Please do more skin care videos

Hi Ellvine,
The usage of sunscreen will protect you (partly) from possible further damage of the sun to your skin.
How about vitamin D, does sunscreen compromise vitamin D levels?
Hi Everything,
Great question. As far as I know sunscreen does not compromise vitamine D levels. It only blocks UVA and UVB rays.

It does hahahahahaha this guy is deceiving you
@@johnyanez4962 not exactly. Sunscreen doesn't 100% block all rays, it's just to Minimize exposure, hence you STILL get vitamind d

Which SPF is use to better for skin? SPF50 or SPF90?? Please tell me
Dr, how to know if product is chemical based? And can sweat and ocean wash the sunscreen away?
Thank you, Sir!
I am still confused. Should I use a lower SPF (15-30) or a higher ?
Higher
What if I work in construction I’m in the sun all day which one should I use ?
Great vedio
Q.S.:
1.Does sunscreen protects from visible lights? &
2.does sunscreens protect from tanning?
Does homosalate, Octycrylene and octisalate go together with Uvinal A and Tinosorb M? I ask because I put a tinted spf over a Korean PA+++ and I don’t want to affect the effectiveness.
I ask because I use the Korean sunscreen Beauty of Joseon and then I put IT cosmetics cc cream, SPF 40 over the top.
Great video doc! Keep it up!
Thanks Jade! It means a lot to me!
Does sunscreen keep the skin significantly younger ?
Hi Ken,
Sunscreen protects your skin from damaging UV-radiation. This delays "aging" of the skin.
It's worth mentioning five things here: 1) non-burning UV exposure is critical to the proper function and development of the human body. People who chronically get insufficient non-burning UV exposure are at higher risk for obesity, metabolic syndrome, type I diabetes, type II diabetes, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, asthma, allergies, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, schizophrenia, statin intolerance, macular degeneration and myopia and have higher all-cause mortality rates than people who get sufficient non-burning UV exposure.

Everyone's different but I actually get MORE freckles when I wear sunscreen than when I forget sunscreen!
freckles are sun damage
I usually buy sunscreen with SPF 70... I have very pale skin and live in a very sunny place. Is 50+ enough?
What kind of sunscreen do you have to use
Any kind that is broad spectrum or PA++++ -use one that suits your skin issues/needs & particularly one that you’ll actually use & enjoy & reapply.
Should you use after sun sunscreen or sunscreen to protect from the sun?
Sunscreen to protect. After sun is only a relief for burned skin.
Good day doctor, I am chef cook and I am exposed to heat and i have melasma what is heat protection i use sunscreen or sunblock? Thank you and God bless
After use sunscreen how to wash face
Thanks I’m gonna buy some of that banana boat SPF 50 I’m 16 and I want to fix my skin

Bro 😂
Tells you to wear sunscreen and also states it comment he doesn’t know if it blocks vitaminD😂
It’s like he’s reading off a big pharma script
There are a lot questions which are still unanswered in the field of medicine. Researches are going on.
He’s cute.

Why on earth are you wearing a stethoscope when talking about sun screen? This doesn't really make you look more trustworthy... quite the opposite.
