I’m a 70 year old example of an outdoorsy person who didn’t protect her hands and arms enough. Nobody believes it but you will still care what you look like when you’re older. I wish I had taken better care of my hands and arms.
I was recently on vacation in Puerto Rico and while many people gave me side eye for my UPF hat/sunglasses/pants/jacket outfit, a woman who worked at the resort complimented me and told me that she appreciated that I did what everyone should do. (The UV index was somewhere between 12 and 14 each day.)
Another option is summer umbrellas! They are cute, and were used for centuries to protect from the sun damage! P.S. sorry, you have mentioned it yourself already) Now, imagine this: Walking your dog with big sunglasses, cute wide-brimmed hat, umbrella and gloves. What a fancier outfit can be imagined? I am ready for my old money socialite era💅
It's not just skin damage. This past weekend I went to a softball tournament. The weather and sun were brutal. I was wearing a sun hat and sunscreen which I reapplied faithfully. By the end I was fading in and out of sleep or something. I wasn't back to my usual self until the following afternoon. The only sunburn I had was on my scalp (through my hat and hair) but I wore out my body. I felt helpless. Yesterday I bought a Coolibar shawl so that wherever I am, I can cover myself. It was great seeing that you have one too!
I wish UPF protection was a default feature in run clothes. It’s been so hard for me to find good run gear with UPF (especially for women-there are a lot more options for men!). Given how much sun exposure runners get, this should be a huge priority for manufacturers when they design run clothing.
I’ve watched your channel for years, and imo this is the best video you’ve ever done. I am the sunscreen queen & a hat + upf clothing connoisseur (like to the point where my friends make fun of me about it lol), and you’ve even given me tons of ideas and brands I didn’t know about. Thank you! Bless you also for driving home the point that it’s not just about sunscreen! It takes a lot of tools in your tool belt & mixing them all to have true protection. People just seem to think it’s sunscreen & that’s it, and that’s gotta change
The slip-slop-slap is an excellent slogan to mention, and I appreciate you breaking it into sections for us to understand. Few people are aware of it. Great, thorough video on sun protective alternatives we can incorporate alongside wearing sunscreen.
Sun protection is my holy grail. I believe its literally the most powerful way to prevent so many issues! Its the most basic, and vital part of skin care, in my opinion. I get so frustrated sometimes, because my mom thinks my cautiousness of the sun is funny, and something sm “brainwashed me into”. Like, nope, mom, you can’t get a chemical peel, and then not wear sunscreen, even if the weather isn’t sunny (not that she ever wears it outside of the beach, laying under direct sunlight in peak hours). And what the point of getting salon procedures, apply skincare etc, if you dont wear the only thing that, scientifically, protects you from damaged skin barrier?! And like, my mom looks amazing! I have lucky genes, in some way. But sunscreen is vital! I remember, when I first got into all things skincare and started applying sunscreen religiously (Its was a cheap tube of white, pasty zinc spf, and I was all greasy and white-spotted, but did I care? Nope) on the beach and lay exclusively under the umbrella, no matter the hour, my mom chuckled at me from her spot under direct sunlight, in peak hour, laying there glistening in oil “for the tan”, and was like “who do you heard that from omg?”. And I have been saying to her “lol, I am not a fun of skin cancer or premature aging, mom.” But she would just roll her eyes like I was a dumb kid or something. Not that I cared much, but still. And my dad would be like: you came on vacation and stay as white a a zombie, what the point? Well, Idk, maybe in thousand other fun things that do not include getting cooked under the sun for 11 hours a day, every day? The same story with face sunscreen (which I apply and reapply every day). When I wore it in the colder months, when there weren’t even visible sun, my mom made fun of my “obsession”. But I love sunscreen! I love trying different ones, I love make my younger brother to try different ones with me, and I am proud of getting him into skincare as well, even if my dad sometimes spits dumb stuff like “are you a girl or what? Now you wear lip balm and creams, tomorrow will apply lipstick?!” at my brother, and “You a still young. This things are for mature women” at me. Lol, we will see what you would say in 20+ years. I am ready to up my game against the sun, too! Time to shop for some sunglasses and hat, and maybe upf clothing, too!
Can you address the issue (if there is one)of cancer causing properties of UV lamps when getting gel manicures. My nails are super thin and I’ve gotten gel manicures for the last few years since regular polish chips on me after only a day or two of wear. Gel manicures last me almost three weeks but I don’t want to develop skin cancer either.
I love UPF clothing it reallly saves you money in the long run and you don’t have to worry about reapplying I wear sunscreen every day reapply 3 times a day and especially summer in Texas i wear head to toe UPF
One of my absolute favorite UPF garments is sun sleeves. I have them for all of my kids (Coolibar for the big kids and Eclipse Glove in toddler size) and keep them by the door with sunglasses and hats and they are able to very quickly protect themselves when they're running in and out of the house as children do.
I recently discovered outdoor tribe for hats and I love them cause it has a ponytail hole, is wide enough brim, has a chin strap, foldable for travel and machine washable!
I was wondering about this hat. I wasn't sure how good it was since I noticed there's mesh on the side and back of the hat. I'm glad you like it and feel it's protective!
My car windows have an appointment to be tinted. My sun hat is as close to size of an umbrella I can find. 😄 I carry sunblock in my lunch box to reapply at lunch if I go for a walk, and definitely before heading out for the day. Wish I would have started long ago. Thank you for your product list and information. I need to add to my UPF clothing.
Are upf clothes regulated? Can any brand claim upf? some claim but have no further info on the tags or website. Is solbari & coolibar the only trust worthy & tested brands?
Well done video. I just went on a safari and picked up sleeves from Coolibar. They were GREAT. They kept me warm in the mornings with a t-shirt on. Then I could wear just one when it was warmer depending on which side of the jeep I was on or where the sun was. They run small. I also bought the face and neck screen/mask thing your husband hates. It was GREAT when the dust kicked up or for when we would open the roof and pop up to watch animals for a while. I could see this being really good for intense hiking with dust or for somone mowing their grass who needs a little allergen/dust/grass protection but doesn't want the full on constriction of an N95 mask. Of course I had hats and sunscreen and sunglasses, too.
Wonderful video!! I am a melanoma survivor, and I do all the things that you have mentioned here. Thank you for the great recommendations. My ophthalmologist suggests that Maui Jim sunglasses are the very best - - and I agree with her! Nothing is more important than our health😄
I keep a black bath towel in the car. I use it to cover my legs on the way to the gym (when wearing shorts). It also doubles to conceal items left in the car on the floor board and as a protector if I have to eat in the car.
My favorite sun protection hat is the Tilley Paddlers Hat. The brim is well designed with 3.5 inch wide rear brim, 2.75 inch sides and 3.25 inch wide from brim. In addition, it floats if it comes off in the water, but it has a rear head strap along with a front chin strap. You don't have to wear them when not windy (I tuck them up inside), but when really windy, using both straps at the same time, I've never had the wind take the hat off. Your more relaxed in the wind and your not moving your head constantly to keep the hat on. The brim is semi stiff, not rigid. You can pack it in luggage pretty easily by laying it flat. The underside of the brim is tinted darker and seems to help in absorbing reflected light (but I use a 50 SPF sunscreen on the front of my neck, and the tip of my nose. The fabric is dense, and there's a strip of mesh around the top of the hat to let out a little extra body heat. I think the hat looks nice. Kind of outdoorsy, but I like that.
Dr. Ellis, Outdoor Gear Lab ranks the Sunday Afternoons Ultra Adventure Hat as the Editor's Choice award for sun hats. It is not as nice looking as some of the hats you listed. It looks more like a hiking hat. The back of the hat covers the neck well.
Hi, how long do clothes need a "break" from the sun? Let's say I have 30 UPF which would be about 180Min. Can I go in the shadow for 10 minutes and then count on the same 30 UPF again, or should I wait longer? (idk if this is a stupid question, but I'm not finding an answer on the internet either.. :/) Thank you for making this video!
wow have not seen such a comprehensive video about this, thank you. i don't like upf clothes usually because they are are not fashionable, so showing styling options was greatly appreciated. also love your new hair colour!
I have a cotton wide brim hat from uniqlo that offers great shade and travels well. Would recommend. Also have a fancy wide brimmed borsalino hat for holiday strolls in nice places, but that one is more delicate when it comes to travel unfortunately
I really live the Solbari Driving Gloves. As someone with OCD and autism, I get overstimulated sometimes knowing I might touch germs outside, but these give a nice layer of protection for me both indoors and outdoors. I go shopping with them all the time and love them for outdoor activities.
What about consuming fewer seed oils? Will that help your protection factor? Since only going to Animal Oils, I have found that my problem with the sun has gone way down. In fact, being in the sun results in not really burning and even slower browning. The seed oils made my skin more susceptible to the sun's radiation. What about getting enough Vitamin D with this clothing?
Dr. Ellis, do you recommend allowing yourself a short period of time to get sunlight for vitamin D production? I wonder this since I am always covering up.
Great video. But a question. Does black attract "more" uv that makes you hot, or is that dark color just turning the specific uv that reaches you - into heat? Am i thinking correctly here
While I think sun protection via clothes is great, I’m not a fan of synthetic chemical clothes that these all are that you’re promoting. It’s kinda of a lesser of two evils when comparing UV radiation from sun vs chemical clothing , both cause damage. I’m in the camp of least possible synthetic ingredients in my food and other stuff when possible so organic cotton in long sleeve and wide brim hats are used for daily walks. I will however look into gloves and pants because i love shorts
Is there another version I'm missing? I googled this and I'm their website, the directions are: For the shower or bath, apply on wet skin. Then to rinse.
That was so thorough, thank you! As a dog walker, I'm outdoors a lot, and I'm preparing for a job as a kayaking tour guide in the summer, so I'll definitely be investing in some of these items!
I have my Coolibar gloves in my car and it feels weird when I don't use them at night. They have such a good grip that it makes driving easier for me :D
Thank you for the hand stuff. As a Certified Surgical Technologist, my hands are more sensitive the older I get. All those scrubs make my hands so dry. I have a few go to hand creams, but I typically don't cover them when I hike. Something to consider now.
Would you trust that Coolibar white facial covering out on a long hike in high UV index with elevation conditions? It seems very thin, see through, and has a on of micro holes in the fabric...
Thank you so much for this video! So informative, concise, and educational. I recently started taking care of my skin and am purchasing some UPF clothing for the first time.
Thanks for the tips and reminder about UPF clothing. Living in Florida you would think it would be my default but sadly it’s not. 😳 Love your sense of style in general! Would you mind sharing where you got the jeans you’re wearing at the beginning of the video? They’re so cute!
Currently I work outdoors pushing shopping carts but I always top up spf50 every 2 hours and wear upf clothing hat sunglasses. Should I still try to work indoors?
Why don’t all dermatologists promote daily sunscreen or sun protection use? Today my mom had some pre-cancerous spots diagnosed on her face and she said the dermatologist (at Kaiser Permanente in CA) didn’t mention sunscreen at all.🤷🏻♀️
I'm looking for a basic sun protection video and I'm having trouble finding one. I'm looking for 1. why protect, 2. what to protect from (inside, cloudy days), 3. how to protect yourself (sunscreen, shade, clothing, peak sun, etc.) 4. A brief talk about sunscreen (how much to use, when to reapply, where to put it, etc.) Also, under 10 minutes which means very little explaining which I love but not necessarily for this video. Note: I just learned from you about wiping our skin removing our sunscreen. I think that needs to be listed more often.
Good advice I'm photosensitive and looking for clothing but most I have to save for. I do think I'll get the bandana and shawl to get by while I save. I think I might get a separate hood too. I wear scarfs and hoodies but the option to wear with a hat and not as much to deal with as a scarf. I personally love bonnets a hood with a brim. If they look OK or not who knows but the practicality of it and less hot than a turban
Loved this video Dr. Ellis! Do you have any recommendations for a UPF hat with great coverage that you can wear a ponytail with? I'm definitely a hair up kind of girl! 😊
Thank you for such an informative and helpful video, especially with the helpful suggestions for UPF clothing, hats, etc. I have the Jenni Jayne canvas hat an love it-so protective & stylish! Based on your recommendation I purchased the Lack of Color Cove and will def check out clothing recs. Thanks again 😊
Thank you for this video! I love that you provided a variety of options in each category. The Coolibar bandana & shawl may be my next purchases! I love sun sleeves as well and keep them in my car & purse. Do you have any recommendations on a good running hat? I see a lot of baseball hat type options out there but would love an athletic hat with more coverage. Thank you!
I understand the importance of re-applying sunscreen. But how does this work with makeup? It’d be hard to wash and redo everything again but it seems odd to put sunscreen on top of makeup. Am I overthinking this?
Omg I love your videos! You make me spend all my money.. but all of your recommendations are 👌. You helped me so much with my rosacea journey. Thank you for making these videos ❤
I’m a 70 year old example of an outdoorsy person who didn’t protect her hands and arms enough. Nobody believes it but you will still care what you look like when you’re older. I wish I had taken better care of my hands and arms.
Your face is fine? How did you protect your face?
@@dermlover1maybe she wore big hats just no sunscreen
My friends all think I overdo it with my UPF clothing and accessories. They also compliment me on my skin. And they don't see a bit of irony there. 😄
our wonderful Aussie Phillip Adams -who has just retired this year- was instrumental in bringing the SLIP SLOP SLAP programme to Australia
I was recently on vacation in Puerto Rico and while many people gave me side eye for my UPF hat/sunglasses/pants/jacket outfit, a woman who worked at the resort complimented me and told me that she appreciated that I did what everyone should do. (The UV index was somewhere between 12 and 14 each day.)
Note: The hat and jacket are from Coolibar. The pants are from L.L. Bean. Swimsuit wasn't UPF. Sunglasses I got from Amazon (I need new ones).
As an Aussie living in the US, I’m loving seeing you bring the slip slop slap campaign to more people!
Time to bring back parasols in the name of sun protection!
Another option is summer umbrellas! They are cute, and were used for centuries to protect from the sun damage!
P.S. sorry, you have mentioned it yourself already)
Now, imagine this: Walking your dog with big sunglasses, cute wide-brimmed hat, umbrella and gloves. What a fancier outfit can be imagined? I am ready for my old money socialite era💅

Westerners need to learn to use UV protection umbrellas

You can actually get detergent that washes in UPF, I also really recommend UPF sleeves for running

But at the same time black polyester and nylon cloths makes you sweat so badly in summer. What we can do to avoid it?

Did you say look for DARK fabrics for sun protection? 4:49
That was so thorough, thank you! As a dog walker, I'm outdoors a lot, and I'm preparing for a job as a kayaking tour guide in the summer, so I'll definitely be investing in some of these items!
It doesn’t have to be expensive…you can find other non premium brands that will protect for half of the prices or less.
UPF clothing and SPF makeup has been a game changer for me!! 😊
Solbari now have an ultra wide brim hat, I think it's 5" front 6"back
I have my Coolibar gloves in my car and it feels weird when I don't use them at night. They have such a good grip that it makes driving easier for me :D

I'm desperately trying to figure out where your shirt is from!
great video, thank you! could you recommend some sun protective clothing brands for children?
Does the effectiveness of UPF clothing fade over time?
I just came back from Asia and a lot of the ladies even men carry upf umbrellas.
I started using sunscreen when I subscribe to your channel a month ago and I notice a huge difference in my face because I'm acne prone skin I was a
Would you trust that Coolibar white facial covering out on a long hike in high UV index with elevation conditions? It seems very thin, see through, and has a on of micro holes in the fabric...
What you say at 5:16 is a bit absurd to me as UV is invisible to humans.
Solumbra by Sun Precautions is excellent, too
I wish there was a male version of this video
Thank you so much for this video! So informative, concise, and educational. I recently started taking care of my skin and am purchasing some UPF clothing for the first time.

Where can one purchase said hat? 😊

Should I still try to work indoors?
Great info - thank you❤

Fabuloussss
If I wear sunscreen for my scalp and body and sunglasses when there is a UPF index of moderate or higher, is that enough daily sun protection?
This video was SO helpful! Knowing the width your hat brim needs to be was crucial in picking the right hat for my Europe vacation.
Ok, I just got my order this week and picked up 3 upf clothing pieces! =)Thx for inspiration, hoodie is so cute and love the target line!

Good advice I'm photosensitive and looking for clothing but most I have to save for. I do think I'll get the bandana and shawl to get by while I save. I think I might get a separate hood too. I wear scarfs and hoodies but the option to wear with a hat and not as much to deal with as a scarf. I personally love bonnets a hood with a brim. If they look OK or not who knows but the practicality of it and less hot than a turban
Link isnt working 😑
I have been looking for recommendations like this!! My autoimmune skin thanks you!!
Dr Ellis, what do you say to the challenge that your Bluestone sun shield does not actually adequately protect from UV rays? .
Please tell me where you got this top, orange and pink one you are wearing. Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Do you have any recommendations for men? Looking for options for my husband that loves to stay in the water. At least he wears a hat
Thank you!
Loved this video Dr. Ellis! Do you have any recommendations for a UPF hat with great coverage that you can wear a ponytail with? I'm definitely a hair up kind of girl! 😊
Thank you for such an informative and helpful video, especially with the helpful suggestions for UPF clothing, hats, etc. I have the Jenni Jayne canvas hat an love it-so protective & stylish! Based on your recommendation I purchased the Lack of Color Cove and will def check out clothing recs. Thanks again 😊
Maybe a little gross, but would you ever do a video on remedies for athletes foot/toenail fungus?

Are you familiar with/can you recommend any mineral sunscreens that do not contain acrylates?
Do we need sunscreen if we have a widebrim hat and/or umbrella?
This is the exact video I was looking for! Thank you for the great reccs!
Thank you for this video! I love that you provided a variety of options in each category. The Coolibar bandana & shawl may be my next purchases! I love sun sleeves as well and keep them in my car & purse. Do you have any recommendations on a good running hat? I see a lot of baseball hat type options out there but would love an athletic hat with more coverage. Thank you!
Loved it! Thank you
My favorite video you’ve ever done, thank you!
I understand the importance of re-applying sunscreen. But how does this work with makeup? It’d be hard to wash and redo everything again but it seems odd to put sunscreen on top of makeup. Am I overthinking this?
There is mineral powder spf and and spf spray for makeup. I don't know how effective it is though.
Omg I love your videos! You make me spend all my money.. but all of your recommendations are 👌. You helped me so much with my rosacea journey. Thank you for making these videos ❤
can you also share what you use for your child? thanks
Can you share your sunglasses recommendations?
Loved this video! Thanks for sharing your recommendations - so helpful!
