Episode 13: SPF Is Your BFF — The Ultimate Sunscreen Deep Dive
Manage episode 490914287 series 3498049
In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee break down everything you think you know about sunscreen—and then go deeper. From SPF ratings and reapplication rules to chemical vs. mineral formulas, they unpack the science behind how sunscreen actually works, what your SPF number really means, and why daily use is crucial (yes, even indoors). You'll learn about ingredients to look for, myths to ignore, and what products work best for different lifestyles and skin tones. They even tackle hot topics like benzene fears, reef-safe claims, and supplements like Heliocare and Inner Glow that offer “sun protection from the inside out.”
Plus: application tips, makeup-friendly options, scalp care, and a “Did You Know” segment that explains why your left side might be aging faster than your right.
