Hello Dr. Stephens, I was hoping you would do an updated video on sunscreens. I have watched your other videos but I have a serious hyperpigmentation problem that has been getting a lot better with your advise on products. I wasn't sure which sunscreens had the blue light protection that would be more helpful for my hyperpigmentation. Thank you so much for suggestion products. You are much appreciated.

European sunscreens apparently offer and ficus on higher UVA protection whereas Korean SPFs don't and focus on actives. They might feel nice, but I'm sticking to European. I don't have faith in Korean sunscreens 😮

1) Always use sunscreen 2) Use 30+ SPF, with UVA/UVB and visible light coverage, use waterproof sunscreen if doing water activities. 3) Using a sunscreen unique to your skin type, tone, and skin concern. If you want blue light protection include that. 4) Use enough sunscreen and 5)Do not apply expired sunscreen. 6)Use sunscreen daily. 7)Reapply every 2 hours especially if exposed to the sun. 8) Use sunscreen when putting the skin at higher risk, e.g. when using UV lambs. 9) Properly store sunscreen don't put it in hot areas and don't remove it from the original container. 10) Don't for get to apply on the hard to reach areas. *Bonus: Use sun and UV protective clothing.

I wish it was easier to find more affordable options for sunscreen. Often the biggest barrier for me using less sunscreen than I know I should, or not reapplying, or skipping days is because I genuinely can't afford to go through so much! It's difficult enough finding formulas that feel nice on the skin and aren't filled with a bunch of irritants, but getting it at a sustainable price point is nearly impossible. Using the shot glass measurement as a guide, that's, what, an entire ounce to cover your body for a single application on a hot summer's day? It'd take anywhere from a third of the tube to an entire container of sunscreen, depending on the packaging, and that's just not realistic for those of us without the income to drop $20-30 on a regular basis. I want sunscreen to be more accessible so I can take care of my skin the way I should, but circumstances prevent me from doing that.

@rivers3242 11 ай бұрын

I use Black Girl Sunscreen "kids" SPF 50 on my face, it's $10 for a 3 oz. tube, it's half the price of the adult version and much less greasy. Equate (Walmart brand) Sunscreen For All Skin Tones spf 50 (8 oz. tube) is less than $6 and leaves me glowing and protected. It's specifically made for people of color.

Thank you very much for this timely information. Can you give some feedback on how to best use sunscreen within the routine of using serums, eye creams and specialty moisturizers. It seems like quite alot going on your face, which could clog pores.

One question? Why in Africa, women don’t put sunscreen on their face and they have beautiful skin, no acne, no hyperpigmentation? My mother even my grandma, my cousins have perfect skin and they don’t use sunscreen 🤷🏾‍♀️ I think the reason is because some people do use irritating ingredients as retinoids, AHA, etc. Because if you use active product you are condamned to use sunscreen.

So true. I;m Kenyan. And some people here, both men and women, in their 50s and 60s look so good. And these aren't middle class Kenyans working in offices. I'm talking about people living in the village, working in their farms as their occupation. And they don't wear hats while farming. The only products they use on their face are washing with a bar soap and applying petroleum jelly! And others working in open air markets, roadside, and construction sites under scorching sun. Personally I didn't know black people needed sunscreen until like 2021 when i started watching You Tube skin care videos!! And I'm 34! Actually, I heard sunscreen being mentioned in my country for the first time maybe at 20 when Kenyan Albinos were requesting the government to supply them with free sunscreen. Before then I had only heard of the product in Western movies when White characters on the beach/pool applied sunscreen lol 🤪😜🤣So i always thought it was a white people product or light skinned Asians
