Is Sunscreen Really That Important? We Unravel Everything SPF

Love, Saranghae with Peter & Andrea

In this episode, Peter and Andrea discuss everything SPF. What are the differences between mineral and chemical sunscreens and why are they important? They explain the effects of UVA and UVB rays on the skin and the risks of skin cancer. They debunk misconceptions about sunscreen, such as the belief that darker skin doesn't need protection and that SPF in makeup is sufficient. They also provide tips on how to properly apply sunscreen and how often to reapply. The episode emphasizes the need for SPF 30 or higher and the importance of using sunscreen for overall skin health.

Takeaways

• Sunscreen is crucial for protecting the skin against the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.
• Mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin and provide physical protection, while chemical sunscreens are absorbed by the skin.
• SPF 30 is the minimum recommended level of protection, but SPF 50 offers better coverage.
• Sunscreen should be applied generously and reapplied every 1-3 hours, especially when sweating or swimming.
• SPF in makeup is not a substitute for dedicated sunscreen, and darker skin still needs protection from the sun.
