Does sunscreen actually work, Loyal Theorist? Recently TikTok has been filled with naysayers trash-talking sunscreen. And that got us to wonder: What is the difference between the different SPFs? Does the brand, such as Sun Bum or Banana Boat, change your tan? Are there any other products, such as mayonnaise or coconut oil that could perform better? It’s time to BURN, baby, BURN!

Conclusion: 1)Use a Broad Spectrum sunscreen. 2)SPF and cost of the product dosen't matter until ur out for 30min. 3)Remember to reapply the product periodically as mentioned on the packaging. 4)Worried about the environment and the chemicals? Use Mineral Sunscreens containing compounds like Zinc Oxide. 5)Don't rely on Sunscreens so much, just use rashguards, hats or any type of shade.

I can't find it no more, but I once saw an image comparison between a rice field worker (outside in the sun most of his life) and a chinese monk (inside a temple most of his life) and the monk looked fairly young for his age while the rice field worker looked like beef jerky. This does make sense in my head, but I can't share the source (can't find anymore) nor could I verify the legitimacy of the claim. By the way: Check your Vitamin D levels. Your body produces this through the skin, when it gets sunlight. If you have low vitamin D you may feel tired and sluggish a lot. Vitamin supplements can help, but despite me using one, I still had low vitamin D levels on my last blood test and got a big shot from the doc to fix it.

this has to be an American thing, because my grandparents don't know what sunscreen is and my parents will at best put a tiny bit of SPF4 on their nose when they go on a full day of absorbing radiation and they almost take a pride in becoming red like lobsters during my childhood sunscreen was ONLY if you went out to fry on the beach all day, it was at best SPF10, re-applying wasn't a thing and in general sunscreen was optional -- my skin is dark enough that I rarely burned, I mostly had proper tan (which still isn't healthy), but the whole thing makes my skin crawl nowadays when in my teens (after doing research on skin cancer, wrinkles and after gaining a sense of style and deciding I want to be as pale as possible) I started covering myself, staying in shadows (no, they don't use these methods either) and using SPF50+ (in Europe we don't have SPFs above 50 because I guess it's impossible to measure accurately, the highest factor is 50+), my parents commented a lot how sun is healthy and I'll make myself sick by avoiding it (ironically they're the ones with vitamin D3 deficiency, my levels are perfect because I supplement, another thing they don't believe in)

yea the main selling point for the expensive sunscreens isn’t superior sun protection but rather formulation. Most on the market sunscreens leave a white cast on dark skin, break out acne prone skin, can’t be reapplied over makeup, or feels super greasy. Honestly, if a $40 gel sunscreen means you’re more likely to wear sunscreen AT ALL, that’s a net positive for your skin health. As a young person i’m really glad the trend now is fancy Supergoop sunscreen and not tanning beds like before :,)

only in case these are new facts too---cold days don't mean skip the protection, shade is partial risk, whatever's closer to the sun (scalp!!!) is going to get the brunt of it even though that's such a tiny-seeming difference--including if you're on a mountain or something; there's nothing saying you can't apply different methods to different areas (I said above I use clothing except for my face, and before it was a stick for everything but my face too); reflected sun is still sun unfortunately but is easy to forget.

If they grew, then their DNA wasn't as damaged, if they didn't, then that particular sunscreen wasn't working.

I never believed it. I have fair complexion & hardly an outdoorsy person. Until I got sunburnt recently during a 2hr outdoor walk & then I applied sunscreen on a 2nd walk few weeks later that I saw the difference. I was sold. I could be a spokesperson for sunscreen now.

In certain countries such as Australia, the locals use locally manufactured sun cream that still works like gold while being safe for the coral reefs and marine life 😊

As a redhead with skin paler than Casper himself, these sunscreen deniers make me cringe. I've been told anything above 50 spf won't do anything, yet I've seen the effects myself. If I use 75 to 100, I have a significantly less chance of burning than using 50 and below. Each skin type is different, so obviously maybe 100 won't seem so different than 50, but it isn't a scam

This was a great video! Thank you for putting your all on the line for this video, I'm sure your skin will be fine though! But exactly I use physical sunscreen (comes out white instead of going into the skin has zinc) so I guess that's mineral sunscreen, but didn't know about the broad spectrum so thank you so much!

As an island girl who is (unfortunately) allergic to heat, sunscreen has saved me from constantly having to take meds whenever my skin breaks into hives.

How exactly are you allergic to heat? (I'm confused. Do you mean some of the radiation from the sun?)

Please remember that you can do damage to your skin with UV rays WITHOUT actually seeing a sunburn! Trying to prevent sunburn, probably lower SPF might work. But avoiding damage, higher SPF definitely more effective!

SPF is a measure of how long it will last and the higher the SPF, the slower the effectiveness degrades

Two notes: 1. The less melanin you have (the whiter your skin color) the higher you need your SPF. (over 50 it doesn't matter). I've used various 30-40 SPF sunscreens, and during long hours in the sun I do get burned, 2. The higher the sunscreen SPF the less consistent and uniform you need to spread it,

This is definitely a theory that needs a wider case study. I’m someone who grew up in hot places but have found that I need higher SPF’s and even they only help a little
