*Summary of Hacks* 1. Add antioxidants (eg. Vitamin C, niacinamide, ferulic acid, resveratrol, Vitamin E) to your sunscreen to protect against free radical damage from the environment, which is amplified in the summer. 2. Tinted sunscreen blends better, and the zinc oxide helps protect against dark spots. 3. Use mineral powder brushes to get sunscreen into tough spots and for reapplication. 4. Wear UPF-rated clothing as a cheap yet extremely effective way to cover your whole body without the need for worrying about reapplication. Bear with the designs 5. Switch to a lightweight gel-type moisturizer (especially a nice moisturizing sunscreen!) during the summer because your skin and the environment around you is changing. Also, don't sleep with sunscreen on. BONUS: Polypodium leucotomos supplements, backed by 50-100 studies, contain antioxidants that can help elevate your sunscreen and protect against photodamage. (Disclaimer: Talk to your doctor before taking any supplements, and this information has not been evaluated by the FDA.)
The ISDIN tinted mineral sunscreen looks absolutely amazing! But $70 for 3.4oz!? Even though the ingredients look amazing, I don't think I could justify paying $20.5/oz for a product you're expected to reapply throughout the day and will need to be replaced every couple months!
I love the Isdn sunscreen. There is a study in PubMed about the effectiveness of repair enzymes in sunscreens. Interestingly most are available in Europe. But there are some U. S. brands with DNA repair enzymes too, including Photozyme and Neova. I believe repair enzymes are the future of sunscreen and skincare and not a lot of dermatologists are talking about it yet which surprises me.
Could you give examples for sunscreens with repair enzymes that are available in Europe? Looking for something more affordable that the isdn sunscreen…
I have oily hair so I don't know if I'd do this all the time, but if I know I'm washing my hair the next day and it's too hot for a hat, I might try this! Thank you.
My personal favorite tip for sunscreen in summer: Set yourself a timer on your phone. As skincare nerds, we probably all know that sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours if you are exposed to the sun. I work outdoors, so this is crucial for me to protect my skin from the sun, especially as someone who has sun-damaged skin. (I wasn't always a skintelectual and I got second degree burns on my upper chest and shoulders from sun exposure. Now these spots get rashes when they're not protected from the sun.)
The brand Supergoop also has a spray in powder sunscreen for the scalp! Acts almost like a dry shampoo and the stpray nozzel makes it easier to apply to the scalp! They also have an SPF 50 setting spray. So you can renew your SPF with a mineral brush and the setting spray to make sure you're getting a good layer during reapplication.
Can you do a separate video on UPF clothing brands that you like/recommend? In addition, can you review sunscreens that are found at the drugstore that is more economical/in a larger container to use all over the body during the summer? For example, if someone or a family goes swimming everyday during the summer, which products should they look into? It can be quite costly to use higher end sunscreens all over the body when most of the containers are under 3 ounces.
Thank you for mentioning it’s important to still get out and enjoy life, even in the sun. I’m high risk for melanoma as I’ve been having precancerous moles and spots removed since my early twenties. I have to see my derm every 6months because of it. It’s very overwhelming for me and has made me stay inside avoiding the sun altogether as much as possible. It’s taken quite a toll on me and can be depressing.

@@ginar51 Exactly. It is made clear in the video and in the text this is a sponsored. They always make it clear when a video is sponsored and when links are affiliated. I don't know how much more transparent they can be! 🤔
@@wilmaknickersfit My comment was never meant to be hostile. You'd be surprised at how easily people can be swayed to buy products. Marketing and advertising is an incredibly powerful tool and while you may be able to see past the ads, a lot of people can't. I know ISDIN is a reputable company but again, it's never a bad thing to remind their audience how sponsored videos work and that it's important to do your own research as well, especially since there are so many good products out there that aren't just from ISDIN.
Yes, a combined sunscreen and antioxidant is really convenient, and Isdin looks like a nice product. But it’s definitely out of price range for many people
I stopped using foundation about 3 years ago and have been using tinted mineral sunscreen as my foundation. Sunscreens have come such a long way and they keep coming out with better and better formulas as time goes on so I don't see myself ever going back to using foundation.
If you don't mind me asking, which tinted sunscreens do you like? I have fair skin, and they always seem too dark, too orange or just a strange colour. Obviously, I haven't tried them all, but the ones that I have looked at have not impressed me. Thanks! : )
@@michellekelly2937 the same problem here. I have fair skin and I can't find any tinted sunscreen that would look more or less natural on my skin (not too dark and not orange).
@@michellekelly2937 I love Paula’s Choice tinted sunscreen! (Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30) It’s light, doesn’t turn orange on me, isn’t shiny or gooey feeling - in fact, it’s for oily-combo skin so if you’re dry it might not work. But it’s a fair price IMO and they’ve got great products in general, plus really good customer svc on chat and by phone in my experience, rare these days.
@@leapintothewild Thank-you, Marijka! I appreciate the suggestion. I have tried that one but it's too drying for my skin. However, I do LOVE the Paula's Choice Hydralight SPF 30. I've been using it for years. I agree with you about Paula's Choice. I do love a lot of their products, and they do have great customer service, however, I'm not so happy with them discontinuing my favourite cleanser (formerly Moisture Boost - changed to Calm for Normal to Dry). I've been using that cleanser for 25 years!! I don't like the new replacement. It's so frustrating when a company discontinues a product you love. So, now I'm on the hunt for a new cleanser, and I know I won't find one as good as that one. : (
@@michellekelly2937 I'm with you on the discontinuing without notice thing! Just this morning I tried the grapefruit clarifying shampoo from Neutrogena for the first time, which replaced the original yellow clarifying shampoo I'd used for DECADES. Wow, it stinks like sour BO! Nasty stuff, and it feels like it really stripped my hair. I only use a clarifyer 1-2 x a month, but I would've bought several bottles of the original if I had known! aaarrrrggggh Back to the $$$ Biolage one, I guess.
I use these when I go SCUBA diving: Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp & Mist Sunscreen Spray or COOLA organic spray. Both of these are vegan and cruelty-free, which is important to me as a diver.
Been using Elta MD UV Elements tinted sunscreen as my foundation for a few years now - game changer! Thanks for introducing me to Isdin. Love your content!
I've thought about trying that Isdin as it's been recommended by others that don't particularly enjoy mineral sunscreen, claiming that this is the nicest most cosmetically elegant mineral option out there but I get my DNA repair enzymes separately which is what that plankton ingredient is. Photozyme is the brand I use for DNA repair. It's about $100 a bottle but it lasts for a very long time. You only need one metered dose and it lasts for months. Just another option for people out there who are interested in incorporating DNA repair enzymes into their routine. I do use it in the morning along with my antioxidants prior to sunscreen application
I love the Ageless ISDIN sunscreen. It does feel like a primer and doesn’t feel greasy. 3.4oz does last and the site will have sales in there productions, so I take advantage.
The sunscreens from this brand were recommended to me by a dermatologist who knew my skin type - oily, acne prone and sensitive - and I tried them all for about two years. They all broke me out and I struggled so badly it was ridiculous. I moved on to Korean sunscreens and I have been fine since. I get the occasional spot and that is it.
Yes! Finally some American dermatologists speaking about how wonderful ISDIN is. I haven't found another sunscreen like these. I love it and miss that I can't get the whole range in Canada 😭
Can you make a video all about supplements for your skin? Would be super interesting to know what actually works and what's BS, with everything that's out there. Especially with collagen supplements where there's just so many different options. Some that contain collagen, some that would make you produce more collagen like Biosil, ...
this is a wonderful recommendation especially for some of us that are traveling to Spain and other places where it is cheaper. Yes I understand when I was raising my children this would be quite expensive for me at the time right now. This is something that I could afford and I’m glad that they I know about this. But just because I can afford it and because I’m going to Spain soon, does it mean that I will use it but it’s always good to know about new things and have the option.
I haven’t heard of this brands supplement but I was considering heliocare bc it has that same ingredient in it! And I also am on a very consistent regimen for my melasma so I feel like it’s worth adding to my routine. I’m glad it got your stamp of approval! 😊
I did not realised that ISDIN has such science behind..I bought the mineral sunscreen randomnly, without knowing before this brand. In Romania is not that expensive. Great video guys❤
In terms of protective clothing, I've used Solumbra shirts for years! They have a wide variety of clothing. No, I'm not employed by the company, don't know anyone who is. Just a very satisfied customer. They deliver to Canada, by the way.
Q= How many times should I wash my face...in the night before using skin A ,in the morning before going to university before sunscreen and moisturizer,,at 12pm after returning from university.. History of my skin: I have oily skin...and just started using Skin A cream(retinol) which causes some irritation, peeling etc...I have dark spots on my face ... textured skin...
Love you guys! The two of you have a phenomenal chemistry and I get excited when you post. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and energy with our community!
The Hada Labo premium whitening lotion (light) has all the things… vit c, arbutin, niacinamide, HA, resveratrol. I use it as a moisturizer before putting on my sunscreen during the summertime here in Thailand where it’s boiling hot and humid 😅 I don’t notice any difference on my PIE yet tho because it hasn’t even been a month yet but I think it’s a great product for anyone looking for a super lightweight toner/moisturizer with all the good stuff recommended in this video. It’s pretty affordable and it’s fragrance-free!
I doctors, I personally love the Australian gold tinted SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. It actually provides a little bit of coverage and I use it all summer long in place of foundation unless I’m going out somewhere nice. What are your thoughts on that particular sunscreen is it a good one?Thank you
"Polypodium leucotomos" is so much fun to say; I have never heard of it but I need it! Thank you so much for yet another informative video!!! I am 57 and vacationed in Florida twice a year, and was on a swim team, growing up. I never used sunscreen because I thought I didn't need it. Boy was I wrong! I had five "precancerous" (whatever that means) spots removed from my temple, the top of my head, chest and shoulders by the time I was twenty-six. I have a small bald spot on the top of my head from the surgery and my hair wants to part there. I also developed horrible melasma. I now avoid being directly in the sun, when possible, and wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine, even if I don't plan to go outside. Sorry, but if it gets "even one person to wear sunscreen" it's worth repeating. 😁
Don’t know if you have done a video about it but I am very confused as to why the various tinted sunscreens have different percentages of “zinc oxide” and “titanium dioxide”, etc. What percentage rate would you guys consider to be the best to look at or get?
Amazon Carrie’s lotion applicators to use on your back! One looks like a paint roller, the one I use is a long clothe with handles on the end. It solves the problem of trying to put lotion on by yourself. It works great for applying sunscreen to the shoulders and back. It’s a game changer!
My husband is Spanish so I used to load up on ISDIN sunscreen on trips to Spain. So glad we can get it here now. If you go hiking/mountain climbing in Spain, the pharmacist at the local Farmacia will absolutely recommend ISDIN. I'm Fitzpatrick I and I've never gotten a single freckle, let alone a burn, in Spain thanks to ISDIN!
I absolutely LOVE watching you two!! You remind me of when my son was in high school and my home was packed with his friends. It was nonstop debates and laughter 😃 ❤❤❤
I love Aussie sunscreen, from Ultraceuticals and Ultra Violet, especially the Ultra Violt Queen Screen. It looks like a serum bottle, very fluid and mattifying. Anyway, I'm enjoying trying different form of sunscreen. I'm looking forward to summer in Australia now, as I can purchase my favorite sunscreens and no need to worry I don't need them that much. It's winter in Australia now, so I only have Ultraceuticals spf 30 mattifying.
Thank you for your content! It’s been very helpful. Can you do an episode devoted to teen skin care routines? I notice you kind of mention kids and sunscreen when you’re addressing the skin protection needs of a wider swath of people, but I don’t see any video that has consolidated info related to adolescent skin health on your channel. It would be helpful if you could include products for families on a budget. The product “hacks” in this video are well outside of what a family will typically be able to spend on skin care. Also, products teen boys would be willing to wear (i.e. that don’t make them smell like their gran). Thanks so much!
I love drmtlgy tinted sunscreen. It has all the goodies you mentioned. It light and dewy which is great for me in AZ. I Can’t handle anything heavy on my face. My sunscreen is with me always.
Some questions: 1. Is hair working as protection of the sun? Or should we have sunblock in the whole scalp? 2. Is carrots any benificial when it comes to sun protection? I am alergic to the sun (I get itchy exzema that spreds and swolls up if I itch and/or don't protect) and my mom always used to tell me to eat so much carrots every early spring. 3. Please share tips on how to inspire more men to wear sunblock. At least in my country (Sweden) my experience is that wearing sunblock is not "manly" bc they don't care about their looks as much or if they get burn bc that just means "weakness" or some stupidness. I just feel like it is so importat bc.. well.. CANCER.. and that skin cancer is so common...
Skin and healthcare is more important than being "manly" and dying. And as they say, doing whatever you feel like doing and not caring about others opinion is wayyyy more about being "manly". You do you, and do what is best for you!
@@bunnerkins My husband would never ever wear sunscreen. His only skincare product is a bottle of shampoo that he uses from head to toes and throws a fit if offered anything else. And I doubt it's about not male targeted products. He just hates the feeling. If he helps me to apply lotion/cream on my back, he goes to wash his hands right after (mumbling and ewwing in disgust). He'd rather vacuum his skin off the floor than use any of that.
I'm from the Caribbeans. I learn to wait for the bus under the trees, to get shelter away from the sun and some fresh air. And sometimes it's the only way to not arrive soaking wet to your destination. I also learn to change sidewalk for the ones which was in the shadow. And I remember my uncle gardening with a floopy hat with uuuuuuge side (chapeau bakoua). In Japan (I think), people would add some fabric on the hat to cover their faces. As for carrot : yes. I remember putting carrot oil on my body after a big morning in the pool. It helped keep my tan longer, which is a skin natural defense mecanism against the sun. And my skin never looked so great.
I hated Autumn till moved to Colorado Springs. The most beautiful time of the year here. 10 years and it still amazes me! Summer makes me anxious about hail.
Alcohol denat is high in the ingredients list. How do you reconcile the benefits of the other ingredients with the skin damaging action of the alcohol denat?
I use Life Extension's Shade Factor formula as it has three of the researched ingredients. "Shade Factor uses three unique ingredients to support the body''s natural immune response to UV exposure: Nicotinamide, Polypodium leucotomos extract, and Red Orange Complex®."
My husband works in the sun most days. He's a contractor. We live in Hawaii and it's hard to afford that much sun protective clothing. I get a product by Rit called "Sun Guard" that you put in your wash. It claims to boost your clothes from UPF 5 to UPF 30 and says it will last through 20 washes. I wash his clothes with it as well as the sunscreen he uses every day. Just a little added protection.
When talking about clothing, you should talk about hats, and the right kind/shape of hats, that are good. Baseball style hats, while great for the scalp don’t cut it when it comes to sun protection for the sides of the face…
Thank you for this. I spent 4 hours cycling then planting the garden. I do need a decent suncsreen for reapplication. I wear the UAV clothing which helps but I still burned.
Thank you soooo much for covering this topic ! 🥳 And the timing is perfect, to make the good purchase before summer. Having black skin, I sometimes feel left out and had to fill the gaps the best way I can. Thanks again for including as much people as possible. And even if I don't have any allergies, or else it makes me learn more and share the tips if I have an opportunity.
🎉I got excited this afternoon when I saw a new sunscreen video from you guys. I look forward to watching and researching the products after a long day. Even the QnA’s…keep em’ comin’!
Hi. Can you have a video on facial care for men with light beards, like both of you have? My brother claims its impossible to hydrate skin under the beard and additionally doesn't use ANY sunscreen 😬
You have convinced me to keep spending and searching for my sunscreen that doesn’t irritate along with maybe 5 other youtube accessible dermatologists. Thank you.
Please inform us if we should protect our hair as well. I have tinted blond hair wichtig quite dry and brittle. A part from a hat - do special summer shampoos or sprays really protect ? I feel like they are only marketing.
I love the Alastin Hydratint Tinted sunscreen....the price can be up there, but with a few other influencers discount codes, I save 20%, and it is like skincare & foundation in one - absolutely love it for my sensitive and hyper-reactive skin! I would like to see a review on this (maybe you have reviewed this in the past - can't remember), but if not, would like your thoughts. Great video and always a lot of fun watching you two!
I live in Greece and it's SOOO hard to find a good tinted sunscreen without making you look orange, especially because i have fair skin. I would really love if anyone can recommend something affordable because i have acne and i do suffer from hyperpigmentation :(
I live in the Caribbean and have the same problem. They are either too light or too dark, haven’t found one that actually blends in. (I have kind of like a tan skin tone , but as soon as I step outside I turn red).
I just started using Little Hands Hawai’i tinted mineral sunscreen as I’ve been trying to find the right mineral sunscreen that works for darker skin tones and so far it’s been great!! Does anyone have any tips for tinted sunscreens and preventing transfer issues to clothes?
You don't need to reapply vitamin C when you reapply your sunscreen, once in the morning is sufficient. You also don't want to subject the bottles to heat and direct sunlight at the beach.
@@per_siri Couldn't agree more! Vitamin C has enough trouble penetrating the skin. Absolutely no chance of penetrating over a thick layer layer of sunscreen!
I live in Florida and we get some serious heat and sun ☀️. I’m sure you’ve heard of Pickleball as the fastest growing sport- most people play it outdoors for HOURS!! Dermatologist are going to make some serious $$$ more than ever from people who goes on the court and play all day- with barely sun protection.
Thanks to Dr. Shah's pronunciation, now I'm mentally singing "Err-EE-Photon-a" to the tune of The Toreador Song from Carmen. Fitting for an ISDIN product!
The *Isdin* one It’s double the side in ounces to other popular comparable ones it comes out to be less expensive than laroche 1.7 tinted anthelios per fluid ounce. Consider it again. As sunscreen is expensive for a reason. It’s a necessity and cheap stuff doesn’t feel good on the face. Sun is the fastest skin Ager.
❇️❤️I bought the tinted ISDIN upon your recommendation….LOVE THIS STUFF! I use Buffet+Copper, Vichy 89 as my moisturizer, then ISDIN tint/foundation. This is my Holy Grail…rarely use foundation, for evening special nights only✅THANKS ‼️❤️❣️❇️
Well, I have not heard of this product, and it not being advertised on TV, and I just don't trust ordering that not being sold at my CVS because how is it not, if it legit. Okay you guys are asking the camera man? 👀 I started using my current sunscreen because it was introduced at a booth at local city festival, and they were giving a nice size sample and they gave a coupon and CVS started carrying it and I like how it blended with my brown facial skin. See in others comments that it pretty expensive for the money, will of course check it out for myself and see how I get to try for free. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.
Is it true or a myth that 20 minutes in the sun without body SPF is healthy/ok? Also please make a video on 24k gold flake skin care products. Guerlain and Danessa Myricks have primers and beauty oils with gold flakes in them. Are they even good for you? Can you layer them with sunscreen, moisturizer etc. ?
Interesting… Do u have a video on how to boost your collagen topically and internally? I’ve seen videos on Retinol and different forms of it and how to incorporate it but do u have collagen product recommendations? I’m sure someone else asked but didn’t read the comments so I apologize if I’m repeating the question.
Great Video!! Going to checkout these sunscreens. My husband has had two or three skin cancers on the top of his head. He now never goes outside without a hat.
Another great video - thank you! y'all rock! Question: do we really need special clothing for sun protection? I read that it shouldn't be sheer, but can't a long-sleeved cotton shirt do the trick? Or something like this? Would love to hear more on this topic.
Yeah because you're covering more of the skin so you don't need to apply sunscreen on your arms. My dad works in long but thinner shirts always (his work involves being in the field for multiple hours)
Really need a review on FANCY DROPS. Color changing eye drops, this sounds unreal and super dangerous please shed some light on this for the safety of people’s eyes 😮

Thanks for the summary! Just a note - they said it was the iron oxides not the zinc oxides in the tinted sunscreens that can help with melasma

I actually tried and returned it. It was not worth it and has fragrance in it as well.
I just started using Isdin’s tinted sunscreen a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It has replaced my liquid foundation.
There's plenty of great sunscreens for much less available. The price is way too steep
Their recommendations tend to be very expensive!
I think sunscreen should be labled like laundry detergent- by how many uses. I bet prices would go down if people saw it was $4 per use
I love the Isdn sunscreen. There is a study in PubMed about the effectiveness of repair enzymes in sunscreens. Interestingly most are available in Europe. But there are some U.

Scalp Sunscreen- I use high SPF lip balm along my hairline/parting. Works really well ❤
Doesn’t that make your hair greasy?
That’s a good idea. I had a bad mole on my vortex removed in college

I second this! Living in Hawaii I go through sunscreen so quick. I use sunbum spf70 but also supergoop has a big jug of their play sunscreen

I use Australian Gold Botanical tinted sunscreen. It has 2 shades, and is $17.99 for 3oz at Ulta, 50spf. I have oily skin and it works well for me.
I bought this one for my mom, I saw it on Amazon and the reviews were great! She loves it :)
I use it too. Although my skin is dry I just put on a wee bit heavier moisturizer. I love the way it feels on my face.
As a retired ICU nurse and someone who did NOT protect her skin in her younger years, I truly enjoy your informative, enjoyable, understandable presentations. You both are so cute and fun.

Beauty of Joseon is my new favorite!
Are they mineral sunscreens? I have been wanting to try Korean sunscreens but I have super sensitive eyes.
I love, love, love ISDIN sunscreens. They are a little pricey but this is where I splurge on skincare because they are so lightweight, have the repair feature and are moisturizing. I wear the untinted on my neck and chest and the tinted on my face (cause tinted will get on any clothing). Love your videos and skin education!!!

@@michellekelly2937 the same problem here. I have fair skin and I can't find any tinted sunscreen that would look more or less natural on my skin (not too dark and not orange).
@@michellekelly2937 I love Paula’s Choice tinted sunscreen! (Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30) It’s light, doesn’t turn orange on me, isn’t shiny or gooey feeling - in fact, it’s for oily-combo skin so if you’re dry it might not work. But it’s a fair price IMO and they’ve got great products in general, plus really good customer svc on chat and by phone in my experience, rare these days.
@@leapintothewild Thank-you, Marijka! I appreciate the suggestion. I have tried that one but it's too drying for my skin. However, I do LOVE the Paula's Choice Hydralight SPF 30. I've been using it for years. I agree with you about Paula's Choice. I do love a lot of their products, and they do have great customer service, however, I'm not so happy with them discontinuing my favourite cleanser (formerly Moisture Boost - changed to Calm for Normal to Dry). I've been using that cleanser for 25 years!! I don't like the new replacement. It's so frustrating when a company discontinues a product you love. So, now I'm on the hunt for a new cleanser, and I know I won't find one as good as that one. : (
@@michellekelly2937 I'm with you on the discontinuing without notice thing! Just this morning I tried the grapefruit clarifying shampoo from Neutrogena for the first time, which replaced the original yellow clarifying shampoo I'd used for DECADES. Wow, it stinks like sour BO! Nasty stuff, and it feels like it really stripped my hair. I only use a clarifyer 1-2 x a month, but I would've bought several bottles of the original if I had known! aaarrrrggggh Back to the $$$ Biolage one, I guess.
I use these when I go SCUBA diving: Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp & Mist Sunscreen Spray or COOLA organic spray. Both of these are vegan and cruelty-free, which is important to me as a diver.
Been using Elta MD UV Elements tinted sunscreen as my foundation for a few years now - game changer! Thanks for introducing me to Isdin. Love your content!
I've thought about trying that Isdin as it's been recommended by others that don't particularly enjoy mineral sunscreen, claiming that this is the nicest most cosmetically elegant mineral option out there but I get my DNA repair enzymes separately which is what that plankton ingredient is. Photozyme is the brand I use for DNA repair. It's about $100 a bottle but it lasts for a very long time. You only need one metered dose and it lasts for months. Just another option for people out there who are interested in incorporating DNA repair enzymes into their routine. I do use it in the morning along with my antioxidants prior to sunscreen application
I love the Ageless ISDIN sunscreen. It does feel like a primer and doesn’t feel greasy. 3.4oz does last and the site will have sales in there productions, so I take advantage.
The sunscreens from this brand were recommended to me by a dermatologist who knew my skin type - oily, acne prone and sensitive - and I tried them all for about two years. They all broke me out and I struggled so badly it was ridiculous. I moved on to Korean sunscreens and I have been fine since. I get the occasional spot and that is it.
What Korean sunscreens do you recommend?
Can you recommend a Korean sunscreen?
I have the same skin type and all sunscreens I’ve tried break me out or leave a horrible white cast or oily face. Which Korean sunscreen do you use?
Same recommendation by dermatologist and same issue with Isdin but for me it was irritating my eyes really badly.
Yes! Finally some American dermatologists speaking about how wonderful ISDIN is. I haven't found another sunscreen like these. I love it and miss that I can't get the whole range in Canada 😭
Where did you buy your ISDIN? If you may share, please and thank you as I am from Canada too
@@cherrysantos6872 I used to buy it back in Mexico, I haven't found a reliable online store that ships to Canada 😞 or at reasonable price.
Can you make a video all about supplements for your skin? Would be super interesting to know what actually works and what's BS, with everything that's out there. Especially with collagen supplements where there's just so many different options. Some that contain collagen, some that would make you produce more collagen like Biosil, ...
this is a wonderful recommendation especially for some of us that are traveling to Spain and other places where it is cheaper. Yes I understand when I was raising my children this would be quite expensive for me at the time right now. This is something that I could afford and I’m glad that they I know about this. But just because I can afford it and because I’m going to Spain soon, does it mean that I will use it but it’s always good to know about new things and have the option.
I got an ISDIN FusionWater tinted sunscreen and I am in love! Thanks for being honest with your advise!
I was an esthethian at a Derm office for years and Isdin was my Favorite!!! So many great products all around. ❤😊
I haven’t heard of this brands supplement but I was considering heliocare bc it has that same ingredient in it! And I also am on a very consistent regimen for my melasma so I feel like it’s worth adding to my routine. I’m glad it got your stamp of approval! 😊
Heliocare is good 😊
I use heliocare with my sunscreen & hat regimen and it really does seem to help keep my melasma from darkening up in the summer.
@@idahodiamonds180 this is so good to hear!!
Hello are is also cheaper. This ISDIN brand is too expensive.
I like heliocare
I did not realised that ISDIN has such science behind..I bought the mineral sunscreen randomnly, without knowing before this brand. In Romania is not that expensive. Great video guys❤
Le-ai găsit pe astea recomandate? Eu sunt in Polonia și sunt ieftine și aici, dar nu găsesc variantele astea in farmacii
In terms of protective clothing, I've used Solumbra shirts for years! They have a wide variety of clothing. No, I'm not employed by the company, don't know anyone who is. Just a very satisfied customer. They deliver to Canada, by the way.
Q= How many times should I wash my face...in the night before using skin A ,in the morning before going to university before sunscreen and moisturizer,,at 12pm after returning from university..
History of my skin:
I have oily skin...and just started using Skin A cream(retinol) which causes some irritation, peeling etc...I have dark spots on my face ... textured skin...
Can you talk about having treatments done prior to the summer? Like microneedling, chemical peels, lasers, etc
I’m interested in IPL (light) but have held off due to me being in the sun (under a big hat, but in the sun no less) in the summer.
Love you guys! The two of you have a phenomenal chemistry and I get excited when you post. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and energy with our community!
The Hada Labo premium whitening lotion (light) has all the things… vit c, arbutin, niacinamide, HA, resveratrol. I use it as a moisturizer before putting on my sunscreen during the summertime here in Thailand where it’s boiling hot and humid 😅 I don’t notice any difference on my PIE yet tho because it hasn’t even been a month yet but I think it’s a great product for anyone looking for a super lightweight toner/moisturizer with all the good stuff recommended in this video. It’s pretty affordable and it’s fragrance-free!
I think Land's End has a lot of swimwear and beach coverups and so that are sun screening. They look pretty nice too.
I doctors, I personally love the Australian gold tinted SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. It actually provides a little bit of coverage and I use it all summer long in place of foundation unless I’m going out somewhere nice. What are your thoughts on that particular sunscreen is it a good one?Thank you
"Polypodium leucotomos" is so much fun to say; I have never heard of it but I need it! Thank you so much for yet another informative video!!! I am 57 and vacationed in Florida twice a year, and was on a swim team, growing up. I never used sunscreen because I thought I didn't need it. Boy was I wrong! I had five "precancerous" (whatever that means) spots removed from my temple, the top of my head, chest and shoulders by the time I was twenty-six. I have a small bald spot on the top of my head from the surgery and my hair wants to part there. I also developed horrible melasma. I now avoid being directly in the sun, when possible, and wear sunscreen every single day, rain or shine, even if I don't plan to go outside. Sorry, but if it gets "even one person to wear sunscreen" it's worth repeating. 😁
Don’t know if you have done a video about it but I am very confused as to why the various tinted sunscreens have different percentages of “zinc oxide” and “titanium dioxide”, etc. What percentage rate would you guys consider to be the best to look at or get?
Amazon Carrie’s lotion applicators to use on your back! One looks like a paint roller, the one I use is a long clothe with handles on the end. It solves the problem of trying to put lotion on by yourself. It works great for applying sunscreen to the shoulders and back. It’s a game changer!
*Amazon sells…
Hey guys, Would love to hear skincare necessities for 50+ age range.
Love now you hav a podcast guys, take care, from Jackie in the UK 💜
I love ISDN line, all their products are wonderful, but it's really underrated. No one talking about. no sponsor and adv. maybe. thank you.
My husband is Spanish so I used to load up on ISDIN sunscreen on trips to Spain. So glad we can get it here now. If you go hiking/mountain climbing in Spain, the pharmacist at the local Farmacia will absolutely recommend ISDIN. I'm Fitzpatrick I and I've never gotten a single freckle, let alone a burn, in Spain thanks to ISDIN!
I absolutely LOVE watching you two!!
You remind me of when my son was in high school and my home was packed with his friends. It was nonstop debates and laughter 😃 ❤❤❤
I love Aussie sunscreen, from Ultraceuticals and Ultra Violet, especially the Ultra Violt Queen Screen. It looks like a serum bottle, very fluid and mattifying. Anyway, I'm enjoying trying different form of sunscreen. I'm looking forward to summer in Australia now, as I can purchase my favorite sunscreens and no need to worry I don't need them that much. It's winter in Australia now, so I only have Ultraceuticals spf 30 mattifying.
Please could you cover/review different sweatproof/sweat resistant sunscreens for those of us who live in humid climates?😊
Can you make a video on how to diagnose a broken skin barrier and for how long to simplify your skincare routine ? 😭
Love when you add the funnies at the end! That product is too rich for my budget though! Love your videos!🥰
Thank you for your content! It’s been very helpful. Can you do an episode devoted to teen skin care routines? I notice you kind of mention kids and sunscreen when you’re addressing the skin protection needs of a wider swath of people, but I don’t see any video that has consolidated info related to adolescent skin health on your channel. It would be helpful if you could include products for families on a budget. The product “hacks” in this video are well outside of what a family will typically be able to spend on skin care. Also, products teen boys would be willing to wear (i.e. that don’t make them smell like their gran). Thanks so much!
I didn't know that about tinted mineral sunscreen! I find it harder to remove, so I wasn't using it as much, but now I'm way more interested!
I love drmtlgy tinted sunscreen. It has all the goodies you mentioned. It light and dewy which is great for me in AZ. I Can’t handle anything heavy on my face. My sunscreen is with me always.
Neova has those enzymes as well as in their moisturizers and sunscreen.
I hate fall too! Seasonal Effective Disorder? I'm depressed all winter. ❤️💓
I love Isdin! My dermatologist reccomended it to me last year. I use the tinted everyday and the mineral brush.
Some questions:
1. Is hair working as protection of the sun? Or should we have sunblock in the whole scalp?
2. Is carrots any benificial when it comes to sun protection? I am alergic to the sun (I get itchy exzema that spreds and swolls up if I itch and/or don't protect) and my mom always used to tell me to eat so much carrots every early spring.
3. Please share tips on how to inspire more men to wear sunblock. At least in my country (Sweden) my experience is that wearing sunblock is not "manly" bc they don't care about their looks as much or if they get burn bc that just means "weakness" or some stupidness. I just feel like it is so importat bc.. well.. CANCER.. and that skin cancer is so common...
Skin and healthcare is more important than being "manly" and dying. And as they say, doing whatever you feel like doing and not caring about others opinion is wayyyy more about being "manly". You do you, and do what is best for you!
I have a male friend that absolutely refuses to wear sunscreen. He is exactly the sort of person that needs a male targeted advertising strategy.
@@bunnerkins My husband would never ever wear sunscreen. His only skincare product is a bottle of shampoo that he uses from head to toes and throws a fit if offered anything else. And I doubt it's about not male targeted products. He just hates the feeling. If he helps me to apply lotion/cream on my back, he goes to wash his hands right after (mumbling and ewwing in disgust). He'd rather vacuum his skin off the floor than use any of that.
@@annapatton4544 😂
I'm from the Caribbeans.
I learn to wait for the bus under the trees, to get shelter away from the sun and some fresh air. And sometimes it's the only way to not arrive soaking wet to your destination.
I also learn to change sidewalk for the ones which was in the shadow.
And I remember my uncle gardening with a floopy hat with uuuuuuge side (chapeau bakoua).
In Japan (I think), people would add some fabric on the hat to cover their faces.
As for carrot : yes.
I remember putting carrot oil on my body after a big morning in the pool. It helped keep my tan longer, which is a skin natural defense mecanism against the sun. And my skin never looked so great.
I hated Autumn till moved to Colorado Springs. The most beautiful time of the year here. 10 years and it still amazes me! Summer makes me anxious about hail.
Alcohol denat is high in the ingredients list. How do you reconcile the benefits of the other ingredients with the skin damaging action of the alcohol denat?
I use Life Extension's Shade Factor formula as it has three of the researched ingredients.
"Shade Factor uses three unique ingredients to support the body''s natural immune response to UV exposure: Nicotinamide, Polypodium leucotomos extract, and Red Orange Complex®."
Sun Precautions brand clothing made with Solumbra fabric. It's comfortable and reliable. I've used them for years.
My husband works in the sun most days. He's a contractor. We live in Hawaii and it's hard to afford that much sun protective clothing. I get a product by Rit called "Sun Guard" that you put in your wash. It claims to boost your clothes from UPF 5 to UPF 30 and says it will last through 20 washes. I wash his clothes with it as well as the sunscreen he uses every day. Just a little added protection.
When talking about clothing, you should talk about hats, and the right kind/shape of hats, that are good. Baseball style hats, while great for the scalp don’t cut it when it comes to sun protection for the sides of the face…
Thank you for this. I spent 4 hours cycling then planting the garden. I do need a decent suncsreen for reapplication. I wear the UAV clothing which helps but I still burned.
Love love love your videos! You two are the funnest and soo helpful!!! Thank YOU!!!!!
Always enjoy your videos together 🎉❤ great information 👍
I’m from Barcelona and it’s great when isdin gets some love!
My favorite dermatologists. Love Isdin
Thank you soooo much for covering this topic ! 🥳
And the timing is perfect, to make the good purchase before summer.
Having black skin, I sometimes feel left out and had to fill the gaps the best way I can.
Thanks again for including as much people as possible. And even if I don't have any allergies, or else it makes me learn more and share the tips if I have an opportunity.
🎉I got excited this afternoon when I saw a new sunscreen video from you guys. I look forward to watching and researching the products after a long day. Even the QnA’s…keep em’ comin’!
Thanks for this, I have been using ISDIN sunscreen for the last 3 years, I love it ❤❤❤
Isdin powder isnthe best thing I've tried been acne prone and with very oily skin. Yes, it is expensive but 100% worth it.
Hi. Can you have a video on facial care for men with light beards, like both of you have? My brother claims its impossible to hydrate skin under the beard and additionally doesn't use ANY sunscreen 😬
I work in dermatology and am obsessed with isdn
You have convinced me to keep spending and searching for my sunscreen that doesn’t irritate along with maybe 5 other youtube accessible dermatologists. Thank you.
I love products by Isdin the only thing is that it’s expensive here in Brazil.
I think that it's expensive everywhere. Sure is here in the US!
Expensive everywhere honestly
Please inform us if we should protect our hair as well. I have tinted blond hair wichtig quite dry and brittle. A part from a hat - do special summer shampoos or sprays really protect ? I feel like they are only marketing.
Inzincable mineral sunscreen by Dr. V, top tier. Has broad spectrum protection, no white cast and is anti-aging. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love the Alastin Hydratint Tinted sunscreen....the price can be up there, but with a few other influencers discount codes, I save 20%, and it is like skincare & foundation in one - absolutely love it for my sensitive and hyper-reactive skin! I would like to see a review on this (maybe you have reviewed this in the past - can't remember), but if not, would like your thoughts. Great video and always a lot of fun watching you two!
How much Polypodium leucotomos should you take daily? How much is in the isdin?
YES. I dislike fall too! My friends think I'm insane, but I love mid to late spring and early summer. ❤
Too much pollen in spring.! Fall 🍂🍁 is where it's at.
Listening to Doctorly while dutifully putting on my sunscreen for the day.... 😇
I live in Greece and it's SOOO hard to find a good tinted sunscreen without making you look orange, especially because i have fair skin. I would really love if anyone can recommend something affordable because i have acne and i do suffer from hyperpigmentation :(
I live in the Caribbean and have the same problem. They are either too light or too dark, haven’t found one that actually blends in. (I have kind of like a tan skin tone
, but as soon as I step outside I turn red).
I just started using Little Hands Hawai’i tinted mineral sunscreen as I’ve been trying to find the right mineral sunscreen that works for darker skin tones and so far it’s been great!!
Does anyone have any tips for tinted sunscreens and preventing transfer issues to clothes?
I'll be taking Inde Wild or Paula's Choice Vitamin C with my sunscreens to the beach this year! Thanks for the hacks, y'all!!
You don't need to reapply vitamin C when you reapply your sunscreen, once in the morning is sufficient. You also don't want to subject the bottles to heat and direct sunlight at the beach.
@@per_siri Couldn't agree more! Vitamin C has enough trouble penetrating the skin. Absolutely no chance of penetrating over a thick layer layer of sunscreen!
I live in Florida and we get some serious heat and sun ☀️. I’m sure you’ve heard of Pickleball as the fastest growing sport- most people play it outdoors for HOURS!! Dermatologist are going to make some serious $$$ more than ever from people who goes on the court and play all day- with barely sun protection.
Thanks to Dr. Shah's pronunciation, now I'm mentally singing "Err-EE-Photon-a" to the tune of The Toreador Song from Carmen. Fitting for an ISDIN product!
The *Isdin* one It’s double the side in ounces to other popular comparable ones it comes out to be less expensive than laroche 1.7 tinted anthelios per fluid ounce. Consider it again. As sunscreen is expensive for a reason. It’s a necessity and cheap stuff doesn’t feel good on the face. Sun is the fastest skin Ager.
Finally you are getting our favorite sunscreen ISDIN… but what a price point. Yes they are from my hometown!!!!
❇️❤️I bought the tinted ISDIN upon your recommendation….LOVE THIS STUFF! I use Buffet+Copper, Vichy 89 as my moisturizer, then ISDIN tint/foundation. This is my Holy Grail…rarely use foundation, for evening special nights only✅THANKS ‼️❤️❣️❇️
Mineral brush is AMAZING
Happy Melanoma Monday everyone!! These are wonderful tips
Well, I have not heard of this product, and it not being advertised on TV, and I just don't trust ordering that not being sold at my CVS because how is it not, if it legit. Okay you guys are asking the camera man? 👀 I started using my current sunscreen because it was introduced at a booth at local city festival, and they were giving a nice size sample and they gave a coupon and CVS started carrying it and I like how it blended with my brown facial skin. See in others comments that it pretty expensive for the money, will of course check it out for myself and see how I get to try for free. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.
Simple makes an spf serum, assuming it works well its quite nice; easy to apply and feels great.
I am wondering how you guys feel about self tanning? Does that damage the skin?
Is it true or a myth that 20 minutes in the sun without body SPF is healthy/ok? Also please make a video on 24k gold flake skin care products. Guerlain and Danessa Myricks have primers and beauty oils with gold flakes in them. Are they even good for you? Can you layer them with sunscreen, moisturizer etc. ?
Love my UV umbrella
Love ISDIN been using it for years it amazing.
Interesting…
Do u have a video on how to boost your collagen topically and internally? I’ve seen videos on Retinol and different forms of it and how to incorporate it but do u have collagen product recommendations? I’m sure someone else asked but didn’t read the comments so I apologize if I’m repeating the question.
Doctorly, would please also talk about kids sunscreen . Recommendations? Pro and Con? Thank you
Great Video!! Going to checkout these sunscreens. My husband has had two or three skin cancers on the top of his head. He now never goes outside without a hat.
Another great video - thank you! y'all rock! Question: do we really need special clothing for sun protection? I read that it shouldn't be sheer, but can't a long-sleeved cotton shirt do the trick? Or something like this? Would love to hear more on this topic.
Yeah because you're covering more of the skin so you don't need to apply sunscreen on your arms. My dad works in long but thinner shirts always (his work involves being in the field for multiple hours)
I love the bloopers at the end.
Really need a review on FANCY DROPS. Color changing eye drops, this sounds unreal and super dangerous please shed some light on this for the safety of people’s eyes 😮
i think uniqlo's airism line is marketed as upf clothing. and the design is basic, but not bad.
