I'm not doubting the importance of sunscreen but I have to ask why it's SO expensive relative to the amount we'd need to be using to effectively apply and reapply every single day. For things like cleansers and moisturizers, it's often easy to find affordable, effective products that will last you months because you're expected to go through so much, but sunscreen? It's expected that you'll pay 20, 30, 50 dollars for less than TWO ounces of fluid on average. Speaking as somebody that wants to take care of my skin but legitimately can't afford that kind of repeat cost every month or two months, I wish there were dermatologist-developed sunscreens that place an emphasis on affordability relative to its necessity. If sunscreen is important for everybody to use every day, then its accessibility should reflect that in the amount you're given for the cost.

I get what you mean! It's so frustrating to find sunscreens that don't irritate my skin or eyes or don't have a white cast just to see that they are super expensive. With proper application and reapplication, a 50 ml tube will last you about one week which is ridiculous.

I suffer from the same issue as well. i’m a student and for me, the best way to handle this is to find a cheap body sunscreen with no white cast that’s not gonna irritate my skin/clog my pores, apply it and (because it’ll probably look greasy) apply a layer of powder. cetaphil daylong has a really affordable spf30 spray sunscreen (150ml) that has a more lotion-like consistency with new generation european sunscreen filters, which I think you could definitely check if your skin can handle denatured alcohol (3rd ingredient)

I don't have the money to be using sunscreen 3x a day, let alone every 90 minutes. I just feel like the obsession with ageless skin is so intense these days. I am interested in skin care but watching stuff like this makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong and I just don't have the mental energy to be able to fixate on my skin this intensely. I'm not judging anyone for applying sunscreen several times a day, cause at the end of the day it's your money and your time. But I just find it hard to believe that we need to apply this much sunscreen for our whole lives or else we're doing everything wrong. Does anyone else feel this way? Modern skincare stresses me out!

I'd whine about it if it's just something like essences or serums or masks or toners. But this is sunscreen, one of the most BASIC pillars of skincare. It's avoiding skin damage and possibly cancer. You don't have to fixate on it, just slap on the damn thing and forget about it for a few hours before doing it again. Fretting over the smallest thing will age you faster than thinking about how many sunscreen reapplications one should do daily. Whittle down your skincare routine to the basics if it stresses you out. For skincare, you can do a lot of things without... Except sunscreen (along with cleansing and moisturizing).

No actually I do not feel this way...but I do not know, I think I have reached a point in my life that I judge myself based on my previous self and try to improve based on that, not on the ideal behaviour. Dr Dray is going to talk about what the optimal is, and bearing in mind what the optimal is is always good. But a message like this is not having me feel that I'm not good enough or I'm doing something wrong...I think the only thing one would be doing wrong is internalising the message in this fashion. I enjoy doing my skincare and try to remember to be as sensible as possible, but I am not going to give myself shit if I have a day or two when I don't reapply 3 times. I keep it simple so I don't sabotage my efforts, and I'm happy I'm doing something vs nothing. I don't think Dr Dray is responsible if people go nuts about it and end up stressing out. You just acknowledge the risks and play this game of life within your own limitations.

But tbh I don't really care, I'm only applying sunscreen when outdoors, even after knowing all these info. I'm just not as invested to my skin as them. Yea I might have some wrinkles when I age, but honestly when I'm 60 years old I probably won't care about how I look as much as I do today.

One thing is to be aware of how dangerous is to burn under the sun, and other thing it’s been obsessed with any ray of light that touches your skin. We have to accept that aging is part of live, it’s beautiful, and we should do it with grace and proud.

Hi Yumi, you are correct that we have better UVA protection in Europe than in America, because of the next-generation filters. However, the sunscreen filters are not the only indicator of performance of a sunscreen at all - you need to consider the film-forming ability of the sunscreen, and how well it handles water/sweat. That is why European sunscreens also instruct the user to apply 15-30 min before going outside: the filters will start to protect against UV as soon as they are out of the bottle, but the full protection will not be present until the film fully forms on the skin. You can consider make-up for this analogy: after a few hours it can start to crack, or change aesthetics (especially in highly mobile areas such as around the mouth and eyes). The same thing happens to sunscreens, regardless of where it was formulated, and the film loses efficacy and consequently, the protection is lowered. I highly encourage you to reapply European sunscreens - I typically apply in the morning, and then again around 11h00 (that gives me roughly 3 hours in between). That time is also when the sun is generally strongest. My other application is at around 14h00 after the sun peak, and again at around 18h00 (such as before I exercise). Hopefully this helps.

Dickinson's Witch Hazel Wipes are one of my best friends. I only started applying sunscreen to my face about 2-3 years ago. 2 years of using SPF 15 because that was the only number I could tolerate, and the past year I've been using SPF 30 (Eucerin) because the formulation is so light. However, yesterday I started adapalene, and I want to up my SPF to 50 (Walgreens Sensitive SPF 50) but I don't have what it takes in my soul to reapply over a previous layer of sunscreen + enough oil to fry an egg on my face. I will always use a witch hazel wipe to gently remove my oil. (Pure witch hazel, not the wipes that leave films)

Looks like a reasonable strategy:) I very much appreciate Dr. Dray's videos, I came across them just a little over two months ago and have changed my skincare routine completely for the better. The sunscreen topic is the only one where I still have doubts. While I do believe that proper sun protection is necessary (and I've made my mistakes in the past as well - walking without sunscreen whatsoever in South-East Asia was a horrible idea, but I knew nothing about proper skincare at that time), being overly obsessed with religious reapplying regardless of the factors, like season, time of the day, latitude of the place where you are, UV index and actually how much time one spends in the sun does not look very convincing to me. After all, when there were no proper sunscreens, not all of our predecessors died because of the skin cancer, right? I have heard multiple doctors, not only derms, say that sunscreen is actually the last step you should resort to if you cannot 1) avoid spending time in the sun at all 2) make use of protective clothing, umbrellas and hats. Bidding on SPF alone and ignoring these two factors looks like an illusion to me

@@cashmerehazel21 check her video about visible light. To summarise, propigmented wavelength of visible light has been shown to give hyperpigmentation especially for group of Fitzpatrick 3 and above, other than that the exposure from "devices" is not as strong as sun. And the important note is UV filter DO NOT protect you against propigmented wavelength of visible light, BUT Iron Oxide does. So applying sunscreen in the night time is ridiculous.
