      One thing is to put your knowledge into work for you, second thing is to be taught whats already up there and how it works, so you can adjust and expand this idea/process/knowledge. If I could teach you how to ignite the fire, you only going to that, but if I will show you how fire is being used for cooking, making tools, in control of environment and more, you suddenly have so many options to choose for your future. In addition all those applications may inspire you be more creative. School teaches you basics, but not teaches you how those basics are applied by current products and services - you have to figure it out on your own - if you have available resources to do so - and not every one has them from the early start.

    It's no surprise that littlleeextra rice berry is one of the best-selling sunscreens. I’ve observed noticeable changes in my skin. My previous hyperpigmentation has gradually faded. Remember to use the two-finger rule for both the face and neck. Don’t just paint the sunscreen on. Use it the right way, and it’ll work wonders. Pairing it with the rice berry face serum and moisturizer is also recommended. Over time, it’ll make your face glow and you’ll receive plenty of compliments.

    It was surprisingly hard to find mineral-based sunscreens when I went shopping for some. Most of the ones I did find were either really expensive, or for children; and they were all in much smaller bottles than I would've liked. As for sunscreen lip balm, I had absolutely no luck finding a mineral-based one in the stores I went to. I did find some mineral-based sunscreens on Amazon, but unfortunately they wouldn't get here until August…

      Depending on where you live, you should also consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat, keeping to the shade, preferring long-sleeved shirts and long trousers. On the beach remember to always refresh your sunscreen when you get out of the water, and if you can - prefer morning or evening, rather than the hours when the sun is at the zenith. High SPF might not be enough to protect your skin.

    I picked up a titanium dioxide-based sunblock with SPF 130 weeks ago for our beach trip. I didn't know it was a good choice until I've watched this. I only bought it because of the high SPF, was in a smaller bottle (travel-friendly), cheaper than most brands, and can be applied on the face too.

    It’s so cool that some people are talking about sunscreens effect on coral. Since I live in hawaii it is vary easy to see where the tourists are by just looking at the coral. If it is dead or bleached most of the time tourists have been there with the chemical sunscreen. If you go swimming in the ocean always wear mineral sunscreen. It’s the best one for the environment. Also fun fact but all chemicals in sunscreen except for titanium oxide and zinc oxide. Everything else is bad.

    • @whatshisnamegain1
      @whatshisnamegain1 8 років тому +1

      Tbf, it's not like there's a clear-cut separation between covalent bonds and ionic interactions. There is always a small part of covalent interaction. The difference in electronegativity (according to the Pauling scale) is 2.0 and 1.9 respectively which is indeed considered to be rather ionic. So, strictly seen, with the current accepted definitions, it would be more accurate to represent it as 2O(2-) Ti(4+) and Zn(2+) O(2-). However, it is an exaggeration to state that O=Ti=O and Zn=O are "plain wrong".

      Yes, that is what I would agree to. But You have to admit, showing only covalent bonds is wrong, so both of us are correct. Using this cation/anion notation is something I usually employ when explaining this stuff to my classmates. Have a great day!

    1. that girl doesn't need sunscreen at all.
    2. if you did the math you see that the SPF shows you directly how much longer you can be exposed to sunlight when you have sunscreen on compared to not having put sunscreen on.
    SPF 15: you can be 15 times longer exposed to the sun
    SPF 30: you can be 30 times longer exposed to the sun
    and so on...
    3. i have heard that not every where the sunscreen is labeld the correct SPF in order to protect the consumer from marketing tricks or something like that (like SPF 50 is the max then).
    I think Veritasium told me about that. not quite sure though.

    Good thing I don't use the sunscreen I usually have for swimming in the ocean, I'll have to buy a different one for that.

  • @djayjp
    @djayjp 8 років тому

    I thought SPF (Skin Protection *Factor* ) referred to the fact that, e.g., SPF 30 provides 30x the skin's (presumably an average melanin containing person of european descent) "normal" protection...?

    What sort of effect would UVC have on people if we were exposed to it? Like, say, to people in space? Could people in space use a sort of sunscreen to reduce the damage from radiation exposure?

    • @JCfan0019191
      @JCfan0019191 8 років тому +1

      In space there are other more harmful waves, such as gamma which can split nucleons if I'm not mistaken. I'm not too sure what UV Ray can do to your body but the best guess would be that it breaks down your cells? Or perhaps cause some mutations. But even if there are sunscreens to protect against UVC, the sunscreens would probably be no match again gamma rays. (Unless maybe it is made with lead?) I'm no expert on this though, let's see what other commenters think :)

    • @thiefoftrust
      @thiefoftrust 8 років тому

      Are there other, less harmful elements that you could use in space sunscreen to block the more harmful kinds of radiation?

    • @NJ-iv1kc
      @NJ-iv1kc 8 років тому

      A physical barrier such as a space suit or the shielding and tint on the windows in spacecraft. Tungsten and gold coated items deflect some minor amounts but places such as the ISS are in a low enough orbit so that the radiation is for the most part deflected by earths magnetosphere, providing a safe environment for the astronauts. A more effecient method for long term flights outside of orbit is being researched such as the possibility of creating a magnetic "shield" and other ideas.

    I simply don't wear sunscreen if I'm going to swim. It comes off anyway. It's better to use it after swimming, I think.

      There are new chemical or hybrid filters coming up recently because of the defame oxybenzone is receiving. Your sunscreen might have these newer filters (if you're still using the same😅)

      essentially all that means is that it's thick enough to last 100 minutes if you don't go in the water etc.

    • @bryanlin982
      @bryanlin982 8 років тому

      na normally spf means how many times longer it will take to get a sunburn. example 10 minutes for mild sunburn, and with spf 100 1000 minutes for same sunburn

    How about 100 SPF?? How much percentage of coverage would that give us? If 50 is around 80% then more that 100%?? Because the company Neutrogena sells 100 SPF now, and also is it safe??
