✨ In This Episode:
In today’s solo deep dive, I’m busting myths and sharing the truth about sunscreen. We’re covering:
- What SPF really means (and what it protects you from)
- UVA vs. UVB vs. blue light — and why tinted SPF matters
- Vitamin D vs. sun protection — the truth you need to hear
- Why your makeup isn’t giving you full SPF coverage
- The real reason the sun doesn’t “clear” your acne
- How much sunscreen to use, how to reapply, and how to layer with makeup
- Clean vs. “toxic” sunscreen ingredients — what to avoid and what’s safe
- The stat that changed everything: 88% of aging is caused by the sun
If you’re overwhelmed by SPF options, confused about reapplying, or trying to go clean without compromising your glow—this episode is for you.
