@joyjinmd: ☀️ By this point, many of us know the importance of using sunscreen in preventing skin cancer and signs of aging. However, I find that existing online content and product recommendations may not cover what is actually important to look for when selecting a sunscreen. Here is my breakdown of what all the confusing numbers on a sunscreen tube mean. Stay tuned for additional educational content and my favorites from BOTH the US and Asia (as I find that sometimes creators or providers can be siloed into recommending products from just one or the other)!🧴 #sunscreen #skincare #dermatology #meded
If I put sunscreen on in the morning say around 7am, if I’m still indoors, do I have to reapply at 9am? Or is that just if I’m outside or driving in my car? Such a good post!

Do people wash their face before applying a new layer of sunscreen? Or do you just keep adding it on?

Such an informative post! How come sunscreens haven’t been formulated to last longer than 2 hours? What’s the main barrier to that?

Misconception: ‘UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin; UVB rays do not’
Science: We often read that UVB burns and UVA ages, seemingly because UVA penetrates deeper than UVB into the dermal extracellular matrix and thereby causes photoageing. Yet almost all experimental data from human and mouse studies show that UVB is more effective than UVA at causing biomarkers of photoageing, including elastosis, which is the hallmark of photoageing. Although UVA radiation penetrates slightly deeper into the dermis, a proportion of UVB radiation also penetrates to this depth. UVB radiation is more energetic than UVA, is more biologically reactive and is absorbed to a greater degree by DNA. Consequently, UVB is more able to cause direct damage to DNA, causing mutations in the epidermis that ultimately can lead to skin cancer.
