What protects your skin against heat? You mentioned infrared and visible light. I had no idea either of these would cause heat to my skin, but this has solved a 20 year mystery because I religiously apply my sunscreen. Can you please inform or make a video of how I can protect my skin from infrared and visible light, besides the UV light? To think that all these years, I’ve been getting sun damage when all it is has been infrared and visible light. Thank you very much for this information. Regine in south Florida
This was a great and very educational video as always...love you. But why you had to go a make me cry at the end. I just had a baby and I'm extra emotional 😀
You are amazing!!!, however, I am a little confused because I saw one of your videos, where you said that "chemical" sunscreens were better to protect against UVA rays, and now in this video I understood the opposite, physical sunscreens seem to be best for anti-aging purpose. I must add that english is not my native lenguaje, so that's probably why I didn't get it quite well, so please please please, which type of sunscreens are better for anti-aging "quemical" of "physical"? THANK YOU! Love from Spain ❤❤❤
Amazing quality of video, speech and explanation, why these things never broadcast on main stream? ...everyone should be a bit nerd for this world to improve
My brain didn't allow me to understand everything at once. 🤯 Gonna have to watch may be two more times, and take my time doing it. Your video answer the questions which starting to raise, using sunscreen regulary. Thank you so much. 🥳🥳🥳 I suscribed to your channel by the way.
Wait, I've spent SO many hours trying to find a decent mineral sunscreen that's not too greasy, because "chemical sunscreens take 15-20 minutes to work," and you're telling me chemical sunscreens work right away!
Thanks Michelle so much for this thorough explanation, it really helps me understand more about how sunscreens work. I have some questions to clarify: 1. For inorganic sunscreens, does that mean the larger the particles, the less it can absorb? I put on inorganic sunscreens myself and found myself with a white cast. If I leave the white cast, it means it won't absorb UV lights? 2. If I rub til I can barely see the white, does that mean it is broken down into smaller pieces and more surface area gets exposed and more UV can be absorbed? Thank you!!
You explain this stuff my better than my high school chemistry teacher did. Maybe if you’d been teaching me, I wouldn’t have dropped chem for legal studies. Though also, I was put off by the massive amounts of maths. No maths in law! Which would be why, when I discovered the also massive amounts of maths in psychology degrees, I switched to Law at uni. (Are we seeing a pattern here?) Basically, law is much easier to understand than chemistry or maths. Though I did really enjoy biology. I just couldn’t deal with all the maths in chemistry and physics.
I have a degree in nuclear engineering. This is actually very similar to how a lot of nuclear interactions take place! Ground states, excitation, absorption curves, etc are even the same terminology we will use. It makes sense considering that different parts of the spectrum of light are considered types of radiation, but just thought it was interesting to see the same terminology describing something everyday.
Hi Michelle, Thank you for this video. You mention that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can both scatter visible light. I read from other dermatologists that visible blue light can influence skincell's aging, how much of a concern is it? May mineral sunscreen with nanoparticles be protective against blue light in this case?
Hi I’m back to ask a Q after watching 3 times... you explain how sunscreen molecules/electrons absorb and protects skin from UV rays, but how do they degrade over time respectively, such that we need to re-apply them every two hours? Is it true that if we are using water resistant mineral sunscreen such as pure zinc oxide we do not need to replenish as long as the White cast is intact and holistic?
My 12th grade chem class just did simulations for atomic structure and absorption and diffraction. I think I will add this video and perhaps go into band gap and absorption spectrums!
Why do they say tinasorb M is a “mixed” filter, ie exhibits characteristics of both chemical and physical filter? What is really the difference between chemical vs physical? Is Tinasorb M pasty at all?
Hi, I work in a bad climate and to go to work I always wear a cap, a mask and a coat that covers everything (and gloves for the sun because I go on a motorcycle) when I get to work I have a suit with a hood and a bone mask alone You can see my eyes, I am a dentist and I spend all day like this dressed but I spend all day in artificial light. do you think i should replicate my spf? how often
hello, thank you so much for the explanations. It would be great to make a new one with all the different new filters on the some graph. Also, I dont understand why physical filters are allowed if they protect so little?
Basically window glass doesn't have energy gaps for UVA and visible light (so it doesn't get absorbed), but it does have energy gaps for UVB (so it excites those electrons and gets absorbed) 😊
Michelle, you are my favourite youtuber! This was such a great and informative video!! I don't think you should shy away from more in depth content, those videos are usually excellent and your presentation is amazing!
Love this video! I've got a question: What is the significance of anti-inflammatory properties of UV filters in sunscreens? Some people have suggested that anti-inflammatory properties are responsible for a portion of the SPF, and they suggest some UV filters have anti-inflammatory activity.
please make more videos like these explaining the nitty gritty science of skincare. I would love it if you made a video like this talking about the chemistry of other skincare products. I study chemistry at uni so this is super interesting for me.
Have a question. I have full long beard. Should I apply sunscreen under it ? It‘s not easy. Example if UV rays damage the skin under my beard will my other face part where I use sunscreen also damaged and aging faster ?
Only some chemical sunscreens, and only when they're not photostable (specific filters, and if they're not adequately stabilised by other ingredients). But uncoated (and some coated) mineral sunscreens can also be photocatalytic.
This is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to know how sunscreens worked! I am wondering why the US uses some kinds of filters (avobenzone, homosalate, octinoxate) a lot more compared to Asian sunscreens where Tinosorb S and M are used? My favorite sunscreen has tinosorb and the first time I looked up the ingredients was also the first time I had heard of those filters. Does it have to do with the FDA?
Ever since I started learning about skincare, I haven't been able to find anything that tells me, how long does a sunscreen can protect you? And how do you know how often you should reapply in order not to waste it (I find this relevant because were I live, most worthy skincare can't be afforded by everyone, many brands that are affordable in the other countries, here are branded as "luxury brands").
Thank you! I do actually teach chemistry classes once a week at a specialised tutoring college (pre-lockdown anyway haha) and I used to be head of chemistry there so I designed the syllabus and wrote the teaching textbook 😊
Side question: I recently read your blog article "does visible light cause skin damage". Since visible light can also damage skin and cause pigmentation issues (e.g. blue light, purple light), does it mean that LED masks are not actually good for skin (as they have been marketed), especially for people of skin of color? E.g. blue led mask helping kill acne bacteria but actually damages skin in the process, purple light, and other colors that may be doing nothing beneficial for the skin?
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Thank you very much. Your videos and articles have been very helpful and informative. 🙏🙌🙌🙌. I always look forward to when you have new contents posted. Thanks for sharing your sciencebased skincare knowledge in easier nerdy terms for us to understand.
Also sunscreen say u need to reapply every 2h. Until the 2h do we get the 50+/30+/etc? Or does it decrease already throughout those 2h? And what happens to its strengh after 2h? Does it stop working in protecting ur skin in 10min? Or 30min? Or what?😅♥️
this is so cool 😭 everything im studying in chem is actually being applied. helps show me it was worth truly learning. i can't thank you enough PLEASE DO MORE LOL THIS IS SO FUN 🖤🖤🖤
I think I have to watch it few times jeje there is a lot of information)) thank you Can you do a video about filters in sunscreens? Why some companies use just few filters and others more? What is more complicated to develop formula for chemicals or physical sunscreen? Do spray bottle sunscreens use same filters? Are they good? Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank u for this amazing explanation! Idk if I'm not clicking in correctly, does it means that more noticeable white cast --> more scattering, more protection? Then why do we seek for non white cast mineral sunscreens?😀 Does that mean whitecast protects us more from UVA and the non white cast mineral sunscreens protect us from UVB?
I saw all the comments about the penguins and was so confused...just saw it and OMG, that was the cuteness I needed. Lol. And of course all the science too!
As someone who applied for college to become a Skin Therapist your videos are extremely helpful!

Do mineral sunscreens breakdown upon exposure to UV light? Or only chemical?
Only some chemical sunscreens, and only when they're not photostable (specific filters, and if they're not adequately stabilised by other ingredients). But uncoated (and some coated) mineral sunscreens can also be photocatalytic.
This is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted to know how sunscreens worked!

My favorite sunscreen has tinosorb and the first time I looked up the ingredients was also the first time I had heard of those filters. Does it have to do with the FDA?
Yes in the us the fda makes it basically impossible for them to be approved

Why do some sunscreens turn white on the skin after a while?

Side question: I recently read your blog article "does visible light cause skin damage". Since visible light can also damage skin and cause pigmentation issues (e.g. blue light, purple light), does it mean that LED masks are not actually good for skin (as they have been marketed), especially for people of skin of color? E.g. blue led mask helping kill acne bacteria but actually damages skin in the process, purple light, and other colors that may be doing nothing beneficial for the skin?

Thank u for this amazing explanation! Idk if I'm not clicking in correctly, does it means that more noticeable white cast --> more scattering, more protection? Then why do we seek for non white cast mineral sunscreens?😀 Does that mean whitecast protects us more from UVA and the non white cast mineral sunscreens protect us from UVB?
Fascinating! Thank you.
I saw all the comments about the penguins and was so confused...just saw it and OMG, that was the cuteness I needed. Lol. And of course all the science too!
OMG thank you so much Michelle for the IMMENSE stock knowledge before I start my Cosmetic Sciences degree!!
As someone who applied for college to become a Skin Therapist your videos are extremely helpful! The technical language is still a bit foreign to me, but I’m sure after binging your videos and doing some research I’ll get the hang of it. Thankyou for your knowledge!

Omg I just loved the explanation and the details ❤️ Subscribing right away😘
