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.

@DrAlexisStephens Год назад

Thanks so much! Happy to help🥰

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 😮

@mbuyotimwangala343 5 месяцев назад

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.

@tonitone666 Год назад

@@bootswithdafurr i personally use the Supergoop Mineral Sheer Screen, IT LEAVES A TINT that many people don’t like but i can live with it because it actually fades after a while (like 20 mins). I also use less than the three finger method but find that it still shields my face and my neck 🤞🏾(I wear it just bare faced, not under any makeup either) my skin cleared up and brightened but i also pair it with a vitamin C serum so that plays a role but i was using the vitamin C long before that but my skin improved once I added that sunscreen. Sorry for the essay, being as detailed as possible so that you understand what Im doing so if it doesn’t work for you, don’t dismiss it just find something or a way that works for you ❤️ it definitely took trial and error for me to figure out the sunscreen itself and what sunscreen works in general.

@ElysianLys Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@lavellans Год назад

For one, covering skin with clothing saves me a lot. I use sunscreen on head, neck, and hands (exposed skin)

@debroahlee1584 Год назад

I agree. That’s why I have a different sunscreen for my face vs my neck/body. I have an expensive sunscreen for my face and a cheap mineral sunscreen for my neck body. This helps somewhat. It would be great if there was a mineral sun spray.

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.

@janejustin1788 3 месяца назад

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

Well I don't know if everyone on the continent is using Shea butter. But I know that Shea butter is naturally sun blocking. I think it has an SPF of 6. I know that's low but it's something. So maybe that's why. Our Ancestors were wise and did so many things that science is just now "proving" or (in my opinion) just now catching up with. Additionally I think people on the continent dress very modestly in part because of the sun exposure. So that can be taken into consideration as well.

@peterkloostermann Год назад

Regarding the amount of sunscreen to use. I think the way people apply sunscreen is also an important factor. If someone measures out the right amount for just the face, but then rub the sunscreen in with the whole surface area of both hands considering that both hands is about 300cm2, basically means someone has 33% less on their face. So the more area someone used of their hands to apply the sunscreen, basically also the more product you need. For the face on average 600cm2, so 1.2 grams, but including those hands, it can be 900cm2, so 1.8 grams. Same when people review a sunscreen on one hand, if they then rub it in with their whole other hand, often also over the wrist what I often see, that is very unlikely the correct amount.

In the video I mention that a common sunscreen mistake is relying on the wrong form of sunscreen as your main application because most people don’t use enough (spray/powder) for adequate sun protection.

Warning, if you get the "ultra-fluid," it can be really greasy, but I recently switched to the gel-creme (same formula) and it is magical. They also have the same formula in different finishes: matte, dry-finish, anti-shine. I've been looking for years for the right brand!

There was one time I was driving and I was so worried because it started burning my eyes and my vision was blurred. I wear contacts so I think I sweat transferred the spf to my contacts. Anyway, this was a very busy stretch of street with no shoulder or side streets to pull over. It was horrible & it happened more than once with that sunscreen. I tried repeatedly to avoid my eye area & it’s always caused irritation

Always good to see you Dr. Alexis.I have three sunscreens I use for different situations: Vanicream with ceramides when needs a break, Glowscreen because it has a tint; usually use when I'm going out and want a shine, Vanicream with ceramides moisturizer with 30 when I'm on a run. I like having options so I never leave the house without sunscreen😊

What’s the best way to reapply sunscreen on a makeup day?

@shaunalewis7368 6 месяцев назад

Hi! I love your videos! What about sun screen for your body. I’m not sure if I missed it but I have 6 children, we go to Jamaica every year to visit my husbands family and inevitably no matter what sunscreen I put on them, they burn. I tried the sunscreen with zinc, that didn’t work either. They also hated the white color they turned when I applied it. Help

@vantoinette8188 Год назад

Thank you for this informative video. I fund it challenging to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, when I wear makeup. Will you do a video sharing tips for those of us that wear makeup. Specifically, tips on reapplying throughout the day.

@tatianabenitez2835 Год назад

Unrelated to this sunscreen video but I’ve been hearing a lot of things about Canesten Cream & Calendula cream for clearing acne . Could you do a video possibly about information on what these creams are ? I would so appreciate it 🤍

@chandrabrown5521 Год назад

I have a question about sunscreen you said to put on sunscreen on 15 minutes before going out in the sun. Then re-apply every 2 hours. The question is do I wash my face with water then put sunscreen on ?

@jackieburns5257 Год назад

I use Evy technologies sunscreen spf 50g ++++ with blue light protection available here in Sweden. It is in a mousse formulation. Up to 5 hours protection.

In US they are really good at Mineral sunscreens specially nowadays and I like them to have some iron oxide (Tinted ) so I don’t get any white cast and for chemicals European are my favorites, also I use water resistant 💦 SPFs so they stay on my skin longer my favorites at the moment Isdin Eryfotona and la Roche UVmune 400 gel cream and for cheaper option the new Neutrogena Uv tint 😎

@nooneinparticular4895 Год назад

Dr... In my case, I put spf 30 under my makeup, but it's recommended to reapply every 80 minutes. Any suggestions to reapply without having to redo my makeup constantly? Are there any primer sunscreens that can be sprayed that provides both setting and sun protection you may recommend? For reference, we are about the same shade for tinted options. Thanks !

I agree! What's the fix for this situation? I use spf and makeup with spf but I don't redo my makeup during the day... help! Lol

@ShereenaD Год назад

Some SPFs sprays can be put on over makeup. La Roche Posay has one. Sunbum has another. I've seen others as well. There are SPF-setting sprays too.

@nooneinparticular4895 Год назад

@hopefulromanticc Год назад

sunscreen sticks are great for reapplication over makeup. (they're not adequate enough to be your prime sunscreen as you need A LOT of swipes over the skin for adequate protection.)

Well I haven't tried it that much yet, but Supergoop has a mist/spray for reapplication, and I've seen one or two other brands with powder sunscreen. Not sure if they had melanin-friendly colors, though.
