Five SPF myths we hear every week
Do you need sunscreen indoors? Is makeup with SPF enough? Our medical director answers.
Sunscreen is the single most effective anti-aging product you can buy. Yet every week we hear the same myths in our treatment rooms.
Myth: you do not need SPF on cloudy days
Up to 80% of UV rays pass through clouds. Daily protection matters all year, not only in summer.
Myth: makeup with SPF is enough
Most people apply far too little makeup to reach the stated protection. Use a dedicated sunscreen first, then your makeup.
Our advice
The best sunscreen is the one you will use every day. Choose a texture you enjoy and reapply every two hours outdoors.
