Q: What do you look for in a sunscreen? For me the most important considerations are high UVA protection (yay hyperpigmentation-prone life), light texture and lack of white cast.

My main would be something non sticky and that doesn't pill under makeup. So far my best has been EVY face mousse, which gives a really soft moisturising, and I'm currently trying out the Heliocare oil free version which is supposed to be dry touch and I find that buffing my foundation on top is a no go 💩

This way I don't have to use too much of the first one and still have enough to get the stated SPF

Have you made a video about protection from LED lights and monitors. I noticed that sunscreen products like supergoop are adding ingredients for protection from our devices.

It is extremely agravating that there are products in the US claiming broad spectrum protection when the only filter is octinoxate. For example Lancome Skin Feels Good foundation and L'Oreal Infallible longwear stick foundation. I dont know how they get by with this unless they are not required to prove efficacy because they are categorized as foundations rather than sunscreens. It also seems that companies like Shiseido are calling products with only titanioum diozide broad spectrum. I have read that titanium dioxide filters UVB but only UVA2. Is that correct?

That's the problem with the critical wavelength criteria - you don't need much protection to pass it, especially at low SPFs. You can see the titanium dioxide graph in the video - it gives a teeny tiny bit of UVA1 protection (although for inorganic sunscreens it depends on particle size as well). I wouldn't rely on makeup as sun protection anyway!

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience I wouldnt rely on make up either because no one in their right mind would put on enough foundation toget the specified SPF. If sunscreens have to be tested in the US to clain efficacy at a specific SPF I can only assume that this is not required if the product is not classified as a sunscreen but rather as a CC Cream or tinted moisturizer.

about medial grade skin care... does it have a better and unique delivery system in comparison to over the counter skincare? the info im getting is that most of them have a patent on their formulation and the way the active ingredients are being delivered to ur skin and that they have to prove that they work in order for fda to approve and call it a medical grade. in over the counter skin care they dont have to prove anything meaning they dont have to do crap in order to get on the shelf and that the medical regulations are not allowing over the counter products to penetrate deeper then first layer of skin

Srry for the late answer, but sometimes SPF and sun protection in general, doesn't come just by the ingredient name, zinc oxide can come in many sizes and forms, also, there could be other molecules in your sunscreen that helps to raise that number, there are a lot of factors to take consideration, not just 1 ingredient concentration.

Would layering a sunscreen with a lower zinc oxide percentage give you more UVA protection? Or is it just smarter to use a sunscreen that already has a higher percentage?

Australian sunscreen question! Do you know if the Bondi Sands mineral sunscreen for body provides effective UVA protection? You mentioned in your other video that more zinc oxide needs to be in mineral sunscreens to protect better against UVA, however I'm not sure whether this product gives me that.

Could you layer chemical and physics sunscreens? Or would that cause them to be less effective? Like I’ve always been a zinc oxide girl. And I use a zinc oxide sunscreen and tinted sunscreen. But I want to try the Shiseido Anessa Aqua Boost Mild so I could use the new filters that are great for UVA like Tinosorb S. But I don’t want to not use my zinc oxide at the same time. So is it okay to layer then. Like apply the chemical sunscreen wait an hour or so and apply the zinc oxide?!

I’m like the least confrontational vampire and I have a roommate who’s like “rise and shine today is going to be a good day!” and opens the window wide and let the sunshine in and internally I’m like “Nooooooo!!!!”. I harbour a lot of hate for him for ruining my anti-aging journey

Does blue light from mobiles, tablets, laptops etc cause damage to our skin? If yes, which sunscreens / sunblock topical items should we use?

That's why I use all year round La Roche Posay anthelios fluid with an UVA-PF of 46 for a daily basis and P20 Riemann which has an UVA-PF of 56 during stronger exposures (summer time/ beach etc.) Its infuriating not to know the UVA-PF, SPF isn't enough information.

greentree labmuffin really never says that more active ingredients == higher protection! This is actually a common misconception people use to predict the spf or uvapf of sunscreens based on percentages given for the active ingredients. It depends a lot more on things like the formulation, manufacturing, stabilization and inactive ingredients. So dr Dray and labmuffin are both in the right :p

I use the SolRX Clear Zinc sunscreen which works great for my skin and going out it has 10% Octocrylene 7.5% Octinoxate and 15% Zinc Oxide non nano, is the Zinc Oxide percentage high enough?

I didn’t know my black light was a potential risk 😬 which UVA ingredient works the best? Or are they pretty much the same? Thank you!

Everything I watch about sunscreens only mentions Europe, Australia, and US. What about Canada (and New Zealand)? It sounds like Canada must fall under the US-type sunscreens, because I've never heard of Tinosorb, but we do have Mexoryl-XL. I've been using Garnier (used to be L'oreal) Ombrelle face sunscreen for years - it's 60 SPF (which I think they're not allowed to claim in Europe anymore) and includes Octocrylene 10%, titanium dioxide 4.15%, avobenzone 3.5%, Mexoryl XL 3%, and Mexoryl SX 3%. Seems to work well, though it does leave a slight white cast which would probably be worse on someone who doesn't have Fitzpatrick Type I skin. It's also probably better for dry skin types - I like it specifically because it's the only thing that stops my skin from feeling constantly dry and tight (probably because of the titanium).

Thanks for this video. You are so knowledgeable.

I think it’s quite unfair for people to demean Dr Dray “as a dermatologist” compared to Michelle who has a PhD. JFYI, Dr. Suarez, aka Dr Dray, has both MD and PhD so I think she is just as qualified as Michelle, and definitely more than the know-it-all-youtube-skincare-fanatics here. With regards to the percentage of ZnO of a certain sunscreen, (which I’m quite sure is the Purito inorganic sunscreen), tbh I’m quite worried about that point as well, even before watching this video. I do hope that Michelle can tackle this subject in the future. However, in the meantime, I’ll definitely trust a board certified dermatologist, who has a reputation and license at stake, just in case she makes an erroneous statement. I have yet to hear someone medically qualified to contradict her statement regarding the efficacy of a product with regards to the percentage of each ingredient it has. I like them both, tbh. Dr Dray has a special place in my heart because she was the first YT vlogger that really got me hooked in to skincare; she really influences my choices in products (actually both she and Michelle do). Conversely, Michelle’s style, despite very scientific (more so than Dr Dray’s approach I think), is more friendly. She feels like that quirky, yet genius friend that I have whom I can listen to ages because she’s very approachable and everything she says is just very knowledgeable. They just have very different experience, I guess. Dr Dray dealt with patients with different skin conditions, whereas Michelle has experience with working with the more primordial side of skincare, as a Chemist. P.S. if the issue is about Purito’s ZnO percentage, I hope people know that Michelle also reviewed that product in her blog. If she has an issue with it, I know she’s smart enough to mention it, but no, she didn’t say anything negative about it, aside from the white cast issue.

I would like to know if the UVA protection level of SUNPRISE MILDA AIRY FINISH protector is good. The packaging says: PA+++, which is between 8 and 16, but if it's 8, I consider it low.
