Welcome back to How To Medicate and welcome to this video where we will cover everything you need to know about sunscreens. This video is part of a video series on your skin. We will cover all kinds of skin related problems and drugs. So for more skin related videos check out this playlist:
• Everything on a health...
Why should you use sunscreen?
This is necessary because the sun can be harmful, especially it’s ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays consists out of wave of different wavelengths. Two important types are UVA and UVB rays.
- UVB only reaches the superficial levels of our skin. Too much exposure to UVB can cause a sunburn. The intensity of UVB rays increases during summertime, explaining why we commonly experience sunburns in the summer.
- UVA rays goes much deeper into our skin. Therefore they can cause damage to the DNA of our skin cells, leading to uncontrolled growth of some of these cells and ultimately to skin cancer. UVA rays also leads to an accelerated ageing of the skin. It lowering the elasticity of the skin and makes it saggy. The intensity of UVA rays remain constant throughout the year.
Physical vs. Chemical blockers.
Chemical blockers absorb the suns rays. The upsides: they are easy to apply, transparent and cheap. The downsides: they can cause irritations of the skin and it takes 15 minutes before they become active.
Physical blockers reflect UVB as a physical barrier. This is done with zinc or titanium. The upside: they cause less irritation of the skin, they work immediately and they have a higher UVA protection.
The downsides: they can leave highly visible marks and they are more expensive.
Does SPF matter?
SPF stand for sun protection factor. Which is a measure of the protection against UVB-rays the sunscreen gives you. It practically tells you how well you are protected against a sunburn. SPF does not measure UVA protection.
Best practises:
- Use a sunscreen with a SPF-grade of at least 30 and protection against UVA.
- Use 5 grams of sunscreen and apply it on all the parts exposed to the sun.
- Apply it 15-20 minutes before you go outside and re-apply it every 2-3 hours, re-apply it after swimming or after sweating a lot.
- You can also wear protective clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor: UPF.
- It is important to stay a much as possible in shaded area’s
- Avoid the sun at peak hours: 10am to 4pm.
- Children younger than 6 months should have almost no exposed to bright sunlight.

great video :) i personally use the bondi sands fragrance free SPF 50 for the face (they have a body one too) and it works great for me as a person with dry skin. bondi sands is also an australian brand of sunscreen, which to me is a big plus because the regulations around SPF in australia are a lot stricter since they receive the strongest sun rays on the earth. some US sunscreens have been reported to have a lower SPF factor than what is advertised, so i refrain from using them unless i’ve done full research on the product i use. i also love the bondi sands because it doesn’t leave a white cast on the face, so it’s perfect for darker complexions as well! the only drawback is that it has chemical UV filters in the active ingredients. that being said however, any sunscreen you use is going to be worth it no matter if it’s mineral, physical, or chemical.

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.

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.

How about vitamin D, does sunscreen compromise vitamin D levels?

@howtomedicate 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Everything, Great question. As far as I know sunscreen does not compromise vitamine D levels. It only blocks UVA and UVB rays.

@johnyanez4962 3 жыл бұрын

@@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.

@BBTdietist 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.
