Regular/daily exercise and doing what I can do when I can do it has been life-changing for me. It’s good for my mind. It’s good for my body. Find the thing that you will do. Whatever that looks like for you. Walking the dog. Going for a run. Going climbing. Going weight training. Weight training at home for 30 mins in the morning. The best exercise is the one that you will do regularly.
It's even more important to take care of your overall health because of the damage that can happen with multiple Covid infections. I'm happy you both talked about overall health. 🥰
I got burnt many time as a teen. I have had 4 malignant melanoma surgical removals on my leg and 2 large on my back. Now I have scar that will never go away. Plus they had to take pieces of skin from my neck for my leg. Now I just use self tanner or get a spray tan and they actually look very good!
@@zonnebloemsummer6435 I was in my late 50’s. The places in my leg are very noticeable where they removed it. I had mohs on all of the removal surgeries. I don’t care that’s it so noticeable because that’s what it took to get rid of it. It blows me away to see kids at the beach or teens laying out by the pool not protecting themselves. I would love to lay out. But I will never risk it again.
While staying in the sun is bad for the skin, it's good for my mental health. I get happy. What is the ideal duration to stay in the sun so that I get my dose of vitamin D and at the same time trying to minimise the effects of sun damage.
Depends on your skin tone. Here is an excerpt: Adults In the spring and summer, adults with 22% of their skin uncovered can produce 1,000 IU of vitamin D in 10-15 minutes of sun exposure. However, the time it takes to produce vitamin D can range from 9-46 minutes, depending on the risk of erythema. People with lighter skin may only need 15 minutes of sun exposure, while people with darker skin may need a couple of hours.
People can also increase their vitamin D intake by eating foods high in vitamin D, such as fish, fortified breakfast foods, or taking supplements. Some people may notice improvements in their vitamin D levels within a few weeks of starting supplementation, but it can take longer for others.
Honestly, my doctor prescribed a supplement for me because that’s probably the actually safest way to get it. So maybe look into that and adding dietary sources so you can still go out into the sun but also use sun screen
I am a medium to fair, freckly skin type with a family history of skin CA. I don't like heat, so I don't care much for summer. I get a little sun with weekly gardening, which is enough color for me. If I want a little more color, the sunless tanners are getting better every year 🌞
I’ve had five skin cancer surgeries on my face, plus’s numerous ones on legs as well, in the last two years. My derm finally told me HCTZ causes skin cancer and wanted me to stop, which I did. Unfortunately he also informed me to not use self tanners because of interference with skin exams, which I have every three months. You are the first Drs. I’ve heard even mention this medication. This was a great video and I appreciate you both so very much!
I cannot stress enough to reapply sunscreen! I got so burnt once because I applied only once in an afternoon. My skin blistered and was so burnt. Please people. Reapply or don’t stay outside!!!
I used to have a little gadget that reminded me to reapply based on time lapsed and strength of the sun. Also apply 20 minutes before exposure. Don't wait until you're poolside or at the beach to apply.
@@veggielovinaccountant when I was a teenager, my sister and I were laying out at the beach. We live only 15 minutes away. She got so burnt her skin turned purple and she had huge water blisters all over her whole body. In her late 40s she developed a skin cancer on her shoulder.
I use to be a sun baby back in the day, No more, sunscreen everyday inside & outside, living in Florida the ☀️ is always. Great video 👍👍👍👍Have a wonderful Summer.
Every single morning my SPF goes on my face, whether I go outside or not, whether it's raining or not. I stay out of the sun b/c I literally burn in 10 mins. We love cruising but never go out in the sun. We may walk to a location for a few minutes but I've never gotten so much as any color while on our cruises. This combo-skinned woman is ALWAYS on the hunt for an actual matte SPF and, so far, have only found one. I can't tell you how much $$ I've wasted on new sunscreens and I always end up giving them to my sister who has dry skin. I will try the Neutrogena Hydro Boost you mentioned. Thanks for a timely video for all of us. And Dr Shah, your baseline skin tone is fabulous. Don't listen to those who tell you to deviate!!
I prefer Colorscience because the ingredients is good physical protection, also for indoor lights, and nice feeling when reapplying several times a day. I double cleanse every night.
As a gardener and hiker I appreciate the not on apiaceae family having photogenic compound. I mean when dill takes over the garden and you gotta weed it that's super relevant 🌿
Summer Fridays mineral milk spa 30 is just as great as Biossance spf. I like both, but I can only use Biossance in the winter and Summer Fridays in the hotter months because my skin is oily.
I just got put on cart duty for the next few weeks at my day job, so a bunch of sunscreen reapplication and a floppy has come ESSENTIAL. Thanks for the tips!
15:07 Preach. Due to a medical condition and/or prescribed medication, I have become very photosensitive in the 2-3 years. I miss my 2 hour walks during 2020; now I even have Rx auto window tint. My sunscreen game is on point, though.
Ive been binge watching your videos and i appreciate all this information. If you ever see this comment Please consider doing these 2 videos .. please. Hydradenitis suppurativa mild and more severe forms and some possible remedies for the scars and the dark spots they leave behind specifically in the inner thigh and groin area. 2. Any product you release from REMEDY we need a dedicated video talking about your ingredients and how to use and ect. Thankyou guys sm ❤
I ordered Dark Spots and so excited to try ! I don't get home from work till 12am and I'm too tired to apply so many things! One and done is a blessing!
I use a matte shade of bronzer and I limit my time out in the sun 🏖 My favorite sunscreen is the Vanicream SPF 30 - it's lightweight, fragrance free gives my skin a matte finish. Thank you both for sharing this information 😊
THANKS for this video...I bought the Biossance Clarifying Core routine and love it. Even thoough I have "mature" skin it still tends to be oily in the t zone and in the summer I sweat like a banshee (do banshees sweat?)....The BHA toner and the gel moisturizer are amazing and I finally feel like I have found a moisturizer that balances my skin without creating an oil slick and the BHA toner is visibly reducing pore size. Glad I took the leap into the world of Biossance.
My new year's resolution last year was to put SPF on my face EVERY day regardless of what the weather was like. I actually stuck to it! I have very fair skin. I burn if I'm out in the sun without SPF so I have to be careful. I have absolutely no problem with stsying pale, interesting & safe. Thanks 😎
1- sunscreen, sun protection 2- health 3- To avoid sun or be extra cautious If using these: Aha Doxycycline Retinoids, isotretinoin Limes, citrus Certain bp medicines Certain plants Oxybenzone, benzophenone 4- hydrate, switch moisturizers 5- summer tan
The good news is that research shows consuming tomatoes can improve the body's ability to withstand the sun damage. Obviously not instead of sunscreen. There was also research on the damaging effects of alcohol in relation to sun.
Can we get sunscreens recommendations for the body. I feel like the face is always the focus. Love you guys, been following you for years and have implemented all my skincare and husband's routine from your recommendations
I have spend all my life avoiding to tan because I have rosacea, very sensitive skin, and I’m from Chile, where skin cancer is one of the most common cancer because we have a hole in the atmosphere 🤷🏻♀️, so, I belong to the “sunscreen police“ and I go around saying to everyone to use SPF every 2 hours in a very annoying way 😂 But this raised a small question for you: Can it be bad to apply “too much” sunscreen? for example, to apply a huge amount every hour or so? By the way: guys, you are both beautiful man, smart, kind and generous. I’m so sorry that people in 2024 say to Dr. Shah to get a tan or that it used to look better tan… UA-cam and RRSS in general are a scary place to get exposed, and you share amazing content and now deliver amazing products with Remedy, I only can be thankful to you two ❤
i mean i think at that point it would just be wasteful because i don’t think you’d be getting any extra protection, just using extra product and getting the same level of protection (at least roughly). as long as you’re diligent about using your spf and reapplying every two hours, you should be safe. don’t stress yourself out too much about anything more than that (as far as spf goes) and also wearing UV protective clothing will help a lot too so i would just recommend adding that into your daily life rather than extra unnecessary spf. hope this helps :) also, just as a disclaimer, i’m not a medical professional (although i’m soon to be in school to become one!😸) so take this with a pinch of salt! i’m just basing all of this on the knowledge i’ve accumulated over the years from professionals in regards to UV protection
Oh my gosh! I started with Factor meals. Delicious, portion control, dietician approved. I got my sister trying it, and she loves it. We have totally different dietary preference also, and we are both loving it. Plus it's ready in 2 mins in the microwave.
Currently on holiday in Ibiza. I’m a Fitzpatrick 2 and it’s my goal to be the same colour at the end of my holiday as at the beginning. I’m reapplying suncream throughout the day and I stopped using my AHA a week before I flew here 🤓
I've been regularly focused on my sunscree habits the last few years. This summer is shaping up to be a hard one, though. My cat has/had a white tipped ear and got squamous cell cancer. W caught it early and he didn't lose as much ear as we originally thought, which means I now have to apply sunscreen to his ear every morning before he can curl up in sun patches...trying to figure out how often it needs reapplied and then realizing I need to get it on the inside....it’s been a lot. But also a great reminder about the importance of sunscreen And for the uneducated internet trolls that keep saying sunscreen causes cancer....my cat didn't use sunscreen a day in his life before skin cancer!! Gah! Rant over.
One of my colleagues is only 3 days older than me, but she’s dealing with the horrible consequences of sun worshipping in her youth. She’s been riddled with skin cancers for years, but now her doctors tell her that melanoma is inevitable. She has months of chemotherapy and surgeries ahead of her, and she’s understandably terrified. Seeing her makes me thankful that I didn’t try too hard to be tan when I was younger. My burn-not-tan pale-girl “curse” in the 80’s and 90’s turns out to have been a blessing now that I’m in my 50s. IT’S NOT WORTH IT!
Warning to dog owners who use or want to try the Biossance face sunscreen mentioned in this video. It contains xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. I am very disappointed in the new formulation since I loved their old formulation. I don't want to risk my dog dying if he licks my face while I am using the sunscreen. Also, to dog owners, xylitol is in many common things like: chewing gum, lotion, toothpaste, mouthwash, sugar-free candy, sugar-free baked goods, sunscreen, and baby wipes. Read your ingredient list as not all brands contain it. Keep these products away from where your dog can access them.
The dose makes the poison. Even water can kill you if you have too much of it; doesn’t mean you should avoid drinking it altogether. Unless your dog eats a whole bottle of sunscreen, it’s unlikely they’ll get poisoned from the Xylitol. P.S., my dog is my baby, too!
dude it's in super trace amounts. if your dog licks your face it won't die. Now the baked goods, mouthwash toothpaste, more likely because those are in much larger amounts.
I completely agree with you! You should never be made to feel insecure or hated because of the skin tone you naturally have. This goes along with any skin condition a person can have as well. Anyone out there that feels insecure about that skin or their body, remember you are not your body you are a unique mind and soul that can never be duplicated.
I am glow in the dark white and gave up on having any color years ago. I am the one that puts sunscreen on every morning, the giant UPF sun hat, and a UPF jacket when I'm outside. I may look crazy, but I am not burnt! We went to the beach a few weeks ago and no one burned, 2 of us got no color at all!
Great info, Thank you for mentioning the medications. I can't wait to try your favorite sunscreen. I've been searching for one that is mineral and moisturizing. Usually they are so drying.
FYI all of the people I know who tanned as a kid and are older than 50, ALL have or had skin cancer- and the one who tanned the most and never wore sunscreen died of skin cancer that could have been treated, but she blew it off for YEARS and it spread to all of her organs. After diagnosis three months. So wear sunscreen! And I’ll use the tube sun tan
I love your videos, because of you I started showing interest into skincare. My skin looked very nice some months ago, but now I kinda suffer from perioral dermatitis, as my doctor told me. Could you maybe do a video of that topic please 👏👏
I wish that the 20 y/o me had you guys around to listen to! Luckily, at 70, my skin is in fairly good shape & I work hard to keep it that way! I have 2 daughters (48 & 42) who have more wrinkles than I do. I've tried to preach to them about sunscreen to no avail. Why can't young people understand that ANY form of suntan is sun DAMAGE??? As derms, I know how this must frustrate you both!!
I loved Biossance's original zinc sunscreen. It was the only one that has worked for my acne prone skin. I hope they're reformulation is just as good. Only problem is I can't get it in Europe :(
When I was 14, my mom had me on HerbaLife to lose weight. I forgot to put on sunscreen at a friend's house. I ended up with the worst sunburn of my life. I used to get a nice golden tan every summer. Since that day, I can't tan without burning. So I don't bother. I slather on the sunscreen and let myself stay pale.
Does Doctorly have a BODY sunscreen video? I am needing some affordable body sunscreen recommendations, please!!!! 🙏🏻💗 I am very pale and burn immediately… and have never purchased a body SPF but will be outdoors for a trip , and I am afraid of sun damage! 🙏🏻💗
Is it true that combination of mineral sunscreen eg in foundation and chemical suncreen decreases SPF protection? Aso I'm very sceptic to SPF sprays for possible harm inhaling nanoparticules sunscreen & other chemicals. Any studies on this?
The last 50 years have focused on tan as the sign of health and vitality. Thanks to you two, and other wonderful UA-cam derms, that will slowly change. Natural white skin will rule for the next 50. When people tell me I’m pale, I thank them and say my goal is to restore my skin to the color of my butt. It’s never seen a UV ray. LOL That’s what skin is supposed to look like. 😊
I had a skincare routine where I used retinol, nicimamide, vit c, hydrolronic acid, peptides, sunscreen etc etc. All the things I thought would help me not look so tired and old. But my skin was just looking so unhappy. I stripped my routine right back to cleanse, moisturise sunscreen and my skin looks so much nicer and happier. I don't understand why. My diet/water intake has stayed the same so I don't think it's related to that. Any thoughts on this please? Has anyone experienced similar?
As a fellow physician I cannot recommend the book „Exercised“ by Daniel Lieberman enough. It’s a deep dive into how we evolved as humans and why we need exercise to survive.
Hi from France, I really like your videos 😊, and I do NOT want to tan, I live in south of France but do not expose to sun ( avoid as much as possible 😅)
We need a separate episode for sunscreen strategies for people with oily, acne-prone skin. My face looks horrible if I apply any mineral-based and squalane-based sunscreens.
Not sure I'll even need nuns reen if the weather stays this bad this year. I hope the carotene pills will make me tan as if I actually ate carrots though. I like carrots, just can't imagine eating that much 😅🥕
I literally cannot naturally tan. I’ve had many people and many boyfriends make fun of me and tell me I’m supposed to be more tan and if I just tried harder I’d get darker…..when I was younger I’d lay outside everyday in the sun trying to tan and it never changed my skin color. Now I apply sunscreen obsessively and use Bali body tanning mousse if I wanna feel confident in a swimsuit in summer
One thing I've seen a lot maybe in the past year or so are companies pushing scalp and hair sunscreen. I've never heard of that until recently so I'm wondering if that's actually necessary cause I feel like if it were, wouldn't companies have already been pushing that years ago? And I've been to numerous hair salons over the course of my life so far, and not once have I ever had my stylist mention scalp and hair sunscreen to me.
It’s a good idea to be fair, if you’re not gonna wear a hat, wear sunscreen there, the amount of times my scalp in the part of my hair gets burnt i’d love a sunscreen that wouldn’t cause my hair to get greasy, and imagine how difficult it would be to find skin cancer on your scalp. Its not necessary, wear a hat, but it is definitely necessary to protect your scalp from the sun
You guys are my go to! I appreciate your knowledge and recommendations and thoroughly look forward to your videos and podcasts! Quick question… what about BHAs? Is it ok to wear in the am during summer? Does am or pm application matter? What about percentage? My go to is drunk elephant azelaic plus 1% BHA. Thanks so much!! ❤
Regular/daily exercise and doing what I can do when I can do it has been life-changing for me. It’s good for my mind. It’s good for my body.
Find the thing that you will do. Whatever that looks like for you. Walking the dog. Going for a run. Going climbing. Going weight training. Weight training at home for 30 mins in the morning. The best exercise is the one that you will do regularly.
Wouldn't it be great to see the Docs collab with Lab Muffin on a pod about sunscreen, skincare formulation, beauty myths et al? Dare to dream! ;)

You can be in the sun wearing sunscreen and still get those sun benefits
It's actually good because it increases your serotonin level
Depends on your skin tone. Here is an excerpt: Adults
In the spring and summer, adults with 22% of their skin uncovered can produce 1,000 IU of vitamin D in 10-15 minutes of sun exposure. However, the time it takes to produce vitamin D can range from 9-46 minutes, depending on the risk of erythema.

That’s good to know as an italian living on tomatoes
If true, that’s interesting. We Nigerians consume a lot of tomatoes in stews.
Yes it’s the lycopene!
Tomatoes contain vitamin c which offers a bit of sun protection

I am very disappointed in the new formulation since I loved their old formulation. I don't want to risk my dog dying if he licks my face while I am using the sunscreen.
Also, to dog owners, xylitol is in many common things like: chewing gum, lotion, toothpaste, mouthwash, sugar-free candy, sugar-free baked goods, sunscreen, and baby wipes. Read your ingredient list as not all brands contain it. Keep these products away from where your dog can access them.
The dose makes the poison. Even water can kill you if you have too much of it; doesn’t mean you should avoid drinking it altogether. Unless your dog eats a whole bottle of sunscreen, it’s unlikely they’ll get poisoned from the Xylitol. P.S., my dog is my baby, too!
dude it's in super trace amounts. if your dog licks your face it won't die. Now the baked goods, mouthwash toothpaste, more likely because those are in much larger amounts.
I sunscreen and never tan. What I need help with is my nasty local reaction to insect stings and bug bites. HELP!
Froika a greek brand is using ectoin quite some time :) love them, small circulation company but 70 year old
Can’t we all just love our skin colors for once? All shades are beautiful. When will we finally get it?
I completely agree with you! You should never be made to feel insecure or hated because of the skin tone you naturally have. This goes along with any skin condition a person can have as well. Anyone out there that feels insecure about that skin or their body, remember you are not your body you are a unique mind and soul that can never be duplicated.
I am glow in the dark white and gave up on having any color years ago. I am the one that puts sunscreen on every morning, the giant UPF sun hat, and a UPF jacket when I'm outside. I may look crazy, but I am not burnt! We went to the beach a few weeks ago and no one burned, 2 of us got no color at all!
Thank you for a very wholesome video. Much love ❤
Great info, Thank you for mentioning the medications. I can't wait to try your favorite sunscreen. I've been searching for one that is mineral and moisturizing. Usually they are so drying.
FYI all of the people I know who tanned as a kid and are older than 50, ALL have or had skin cancer- and the one who tanned the most and never wore sunscreen died of skin cancer that could have been treated, but she blew it off for YEARS and it spread to all of her organs. After diagnosis three months. So wear sunscreen! And I’ll use the tube sun tan
Thanks Doctors! Always the best content and fun!
I will keep up with the sunscreen. I appreciate the recommendations and the candid discussion. Keep up the good work guys!
I would love to see a video about tips for kids sun safety. I don’t know what all is the best to use on my kiddos!
I love the L’Oréal drops for adding to face lotion
I don’t know if you have Uniqlo in the US but they do UPF clothing 😊
I love your videos, because of you I started showing interest into skincare. My skin looked very nice some months ago, but now I kinda suffer from perioral dermatitis, as my doctor told me. Could you maybe do a video of that topic please 👏👏
I wish that the 20 y/o me had you guys around to listen to! Luckily, at 70, my skin is in fairly good shape & I work hard to keep it that way! I have 2 daughters (48 & 42) who have more wrinkles than I do. I've tried to preach to them about sunscreen to no avail. Why can't young people understand that ANY form of suntan is sun DAMAGE??? As derms, I know how this must frustrate you both!!
Thank you! Very informative. I didn't know about ingested citrus and sun sensitivity.
"Do you salsa dancing" LOL
I loved Biossance's original zinc sunscreen. It was the only one that has worked for my acne prone skin. I hope they're reformulation is just as good. Only problem is I can't get it in Europe :(
Yess shout out to sun protective clothing! From doing fieldwork I know that regular clothes are only like spf 7. GET THE REAL STUFF FOLKS!
What do you think of the Eucerin Age Defense with hyaluronic acid spf 50??!! It says it has avobenzone 3% is that bad..? 😮😮😮 help!
Your lip product just came back into stock!! Grab 2. 1 for me 1 for hubby. Bet it will sell out fast again
I’m crazy about Bondi Sands fake bake, it looks really natural
The perspective towards tanned skin varies from culture to culture. You do you :)
❤️LOVE THE REMEDY DARK SPOT‼️❤️✨
‼️yes…video on sun protection clothing❤️✨
When I was 14, my mom had me on HerbaLife to lose weight. I forgot to put on sunscreen at a friend's house. I ended up with the worst sunburn of my life. I used to get a nice golden tan every summer. Since that day, I can't tan without burning. So I don't bother. I slather on the sunscreen and let myself stay pale.
❤Have a great summer break you two! 😊
Please make a list of sunscreens with great ingredients and texture AND doesn't make my eyes itch, sting and cry!
Can you please do a review of the Byoma products?? 🙏🙏⚠️⚠️
Does Doctorly have a BODY sunscreen video?
I am needing some affordable body sunscreen recommendations, please!!!!
🙏🏻💗
I am very pale and burn immediately… and have never purchased a body SPF but will be outdoors for a trip , and I am afraid of sun damage! 🙏🏻💗
Could you make a video about the skincare products from the brand Revox?
It would be good to touch upon how sometimes the products for recommend are formulated differently in different countries e.g. USA vs UK.
Is it true that combination of mineral sunscreen eg in foundation and chemical suncreen decreases SPF protection? Aso I'm very sceptic to SPF sprays for possible harm inhaling nanoparticules sunscreen & other chemicals. Any studies on this?
Hey, can you pls have a vid about PIH? What are they? How thwy doffer from other dark spots? How to treat them pls. I've been irritated by them 😭😞😭
Same 😭
Hi, love this some great info, I enjoy the Biossance sunscreen, I’ve also been really liking my Remedy for dark spots as well 😀
The last 50 years have focused on tan as the sign of health and vitality. Thanks to you two, and other wonderful UA-cam derms, that will slowly change. Natural white skin will rule for the next 50. When people tell me I’m pale, I thank them and say my goal is to restore my skin to the color of my butt. It’s never seen a UV ray. LOL That’s what skin is supposed to look like. 😊
Please do a “best and worst of” Avène!
I'm the sunscreen junkie of my family & friends, since I was a teenager. LOVE Biossance skincare products too.
** Can you guys please make a video on cystic acne please???*** 🙏🏽
I had a skincare routine where I used retinol, nicimamide, vit c, hydrolronic acid, peptides, sunscreen etc etc. All the things I thought would help me not look so tired and old. But my skin was just looking so unhappy.
I stripped my routine right back to cleanse, moisturise sunscreen and my skin looks so much nicer and happier. I don't understand why. My diet/water intake has stayed the same so I don't think it's related to that. Any thoughts on this please? Has anyone experienced similar?
As a fellow physician I cannot recommend the book „Exercised“ by Daniel Lieberman enough. It’s a deep dive into how we evolved as humans and why we need exercise to survive.
Hey! No one talks if we should exfoliate less in summer due to sun sensitivity caused by acids?:)
Hi from France, I really like your videos 😊, and I do NOT want to tan, I live in south of France but do not expose to sun ( avoid as much as possible 😅)
And now sunscreens for the body!
We need a separate episode for sunscreen strategies for people with oily, acne-prone skin. My face looks horrible if I apply any mineral-based and squalane-based sunscreens.
Not sure I'll even need nuns reen if the weather stays this bad this year.
I hope the carotene pills will make me tan as if I actually ate carrots though. I like carrots, just can't imagine eating that much 😅🥕
Do we need to use spf on the lips? If so, please give a recommendation! Love your channel 😊
My favourite sunscreen for melanin skin but can't get hold of it here anymore in the UK
As a girl with albinsm I can honestly say I envy a little bit of color on my skin since am extremely pale.
Hi drs! I’m new to your channel and have just started to follow. Your content is so formative. Can you cover eczema treatment?
I literally cannot naturally tan. I’ve had many people and many boyfriends make fun of me and tell me I’m supposed to be more tan and if I just tried harder I’d get darker…..when I was younger I’d lay outside everyday in the sun trying to tan and it never changed my skin color. Now I apply sunscreen obsessively and use Bali body tanning mousse if I wanna feel confident in a swimsuit in summer
One thing I've seen a lot maybe in the past year or so are companies pushing scalp and hair sunscreen. I've never heard of that until recently so I'm wondering if that's actually necessary cause I feel like if it were, wouldn't companies have already been pushing that years ago? And I've been to numerous hair salons over the course of my life so far, and not once have I ever had my stylist mention scalp and hair sunscreen to me.
It’s a good idea to be fair, if you’re not gonna wear a hat, wear sunscreen there, the amount of times my scalp in the part of my hair gets burnt i’d love a sunscreen that wouldn’t cause my hair to get greasy, and imagine how difficult it would be to find skin cancer on your scalp. Its not necessary, wear a hat, but it is definitely necessary to protect your scalp from the sun
My dermatologist does check my scalp during a full body checkup. I wear a hat when outside because my hair is thinning on top.
You look better now, Dr. Shah!
You guys are my go to! I appreciate your knowledge and recommendations and thoroughly look forward to your videos and podcasts!
Quick question… what about BHAs? Is it ok to wear in the am during summer? Does am or pm application matter? What about percentage? My go to is drunk elephant azelaic plus 1% BHA. Thanks so much!! ❤
