I started using sunscreen from the age of 14.. I'm 24 now.. So it's been almost 10 years 😅... One mistake I did was - not applying sunscreen every day... I applied it only when I used to go outside. Now that I've learned about my misconception, I'll apply it regularly. Thanks doctor ❤️. I'm a big fan of yours 😍. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
@User8043 Try Anessa sunscreen spf +50, it have broad spectrum (protects you from UVA+UVB rays). Not feel heavy and thick when stay on face thanks to hybrid type.
@@Skynfyx can anyone without any fine lines at the age of 24 start using 'vitamin C serum' as a sustainable way to avoid having it in future ??? will it harm the normal plain skin?
I'm loving everyone's sunscreen stories! I started at age 17 with spf in my moisturiser and then started full spf a year after. I am 26 now and finally found my favourite spf which is Supergoop unseen suncreen!!! Currently using Bondi Sands 50+ spf 🥰 I am guilty of not reapplying, eek!
I have never liked sunscreen on my face, because they always broke me out. But i started using Korean sunscreens a few months ago and i love them, the cosrx aloe sun cream and the Mary & May cica sun cream 💜
@@KabirKhan-hj1gs no 😆 i genuinely love those 2 sunscreens, I've used so many well known ones that broke me out and I'm sure I'm not the only one, i love telling people about the brands I've had better luck with because not everyone knows about Korean products (at least not where i live)
@@KabirKhan-hj1gs i would say anyone can use both, my mom has dry skin and i have oily skin and we have both used both those brands and love them. I prefer the Mary and May in the summer because it's lighter, the cosrx is a bit thicker and i prefer it in the winter, but i use either of them at anytime if the year without any issues
Been protecting my skin with sunscreen and using retinoids since my late teens and early 20s got serious about it, now in my 30s and Im so happy with my skin, Tretinoin and SpF are godsent
I’m 20 and started using sunscreen everyday. I use the EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50. It’s perfect because I play soccer a lot and it doesn’t get in my eyes and stays on, and because it’s actually transparent! I like that it isn’t tinted or leaves a white cast. Plus it’s mineral and that’s why I chose it honestly
I used to only apply sunscreen when I was out in the sun for hours, but in the last couple years I’ve started to take it more seriously, especially applying it to my face which gets red easily. I currently use Khiels’ Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50. It’s a little pricey but I love it because it absorbs well and doesn’t make me look shiny or leave white cast.
I started applying sunscreen and sunblock at 13 out of necessity. I sustained a second-degree burn injury on my back from an incident, and now that I think about it I'm fortunate to have a nurse teach me the basics of skincare and sunscreen.
I'm using dermaopal suncreen which is meant for skin of color. It doesn't brake me out and it also moisterises. I started using sunscreen about 3 years ago and it has now become an essential part of my skincare routine.
A tube is usually 40ml to 50ml and you're supposed to use it everyday and renew every 2 hours... seems like one tube (which is not cheap either) will get you no further than a week if you are to use it correctly.
I have very oily skin, literally OILY, so I struggled to find a sunscreen that won’t break out my skin. At this moment I’m using Eucerin sun fluid mattifying and I love it!
I’m 47 and started applying sunscreen in my 20s. It was after getting a really bad sunburn while on vacation in the Bahamas. Until then I thought Black people my complexion were immune to sunburn and didn’t need sunscreen. I still only applied sunscreen on the most sunny/hot days, and never on days that I didn’t leave the house. I also wasn’t applying enough most times. In my mid 30s I worked at a plastic surgery/derm practice that saw a lot of patients who were treated for melanoma. I then learned about proper application of sunscreen. I’ve been much more cognizant of sun protection after that but the options for sunscreen that are brown skin friendly were few 10+ years ago, so I can’t say I wore it every day unless I knew I’d be out in the direct sun. Thankfully sunscreen has come a long way and I can now find options that don’t leave my brown skin ashy and white so it’s part of my daily skin care routine all year.

I used sunscreen for 1 year daily as per my doc's recommendation... one day my doc was sick & recommended me another dermatologist for that day because I was already waiting for her, he told not to use any sunscreen, nor even cleanser, instead suggested me to use body soap as a cleanser. Then I went back to my previous dermatologist, she respected her professor, assured me to use a cleanser instead of body soap & told me to only use sunscreen when I'm outside (as I go outside fully covered) or spend long screen time. Now I don't know whom to follow...
I started using sunscreen at 14. I used to apply Neutronena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 50 PA+++… I have used this till I’m 21 yrs now that I have changed it with Minimalist SPF 60 PA++++. My mistake was that I didn’t use to reapply sunscreen. Now I have started reapplying in 2-3 hrs since a few months back. I’m 21 with coloured skin and fair complexion from India.
I tried many Dermatologist-recommended sunscreen products. My favorite is VMV Hypoallergenics Armada SPF70. It has no white cast, no fragrance, no irritation ingredients, not too sticky, and does not interfere with my makeup. 🥰 I only started applying it religiously when I was 32 years old. Better late than never hahahaha
I’m glad this popped up in my recommendations since finally got a mineral sunscreen that leaves no white cast on my dark skin. Definitely needed these tips! Also I found SPF stickers that change color to show you when it’s time to reapply sunscreen while you’re out

Canmake Mermaid Gel is my fav sunscreen for sure! Pretty packaging, no white cast, and fairly affordable to the general public. Hoping more beaches in Singapore would dispense free sunscreen lotions too 🐥✨
Banana Boat Sensitive Mineral sunscreen lotion SPF 50+ And I'm African 🥲 It leaves a white cast. I have to rub in it for a while for it to blend a bit.
I am currently using the Bondi Sands 50 sunscreen for my face and Neutrogena Beach Defense 70 for my body in the morning. I reapply with AHC 50 sunstick. I started wearing sunscreen in my late 20s but not consistently until my 30s. I just turned 40 and now also wear UPF clothing and hats along with UV hair protectant.
sharing my sunscreen story because everyone seems to be doing it!! i live in australia and have a naturally fair complexion, hence i learnt at a very young age to wear sunscreen to protect from the australian uv. however it’s only recently i’ve made an effort to wear a high uv sunscreen every day, not only cause it protects me from the uv but because otherwise i’ll burn from the slightest bit of sun. but i have many friends who don’t wear sunscreen and take it seriously because they have tanned skin or skin that barely goes red/burns, and i keep telling them it doesn’t matter and that they should apply it anyways, but they don’t care. it’s sad to say but at some point they’re going to learn the damages of the australian sun😔✊🏻
Skin aqua super moisture milk SPF 50 - blue bottle - hands down best sunscreen I've used, I can use it near my eyes and nose without any irritation or burning sensation. No breakouts, or clogged pores. Leaves a great finish in both summer/winter. I have repurchased at least 5 times now!
I started using sunscreen age 22, but only in the summer when I was leaving the house. Then at age 23, I finally got a decent skincare routine and started using sunscreen daily.
I started at 30, waaay too late. I use La Roche-Posay Anti-Shine 50+ sunscreen. It helps keep my skin matte but after 6 hours I look oily regardless of what I put in my face. Sweats, oil, it always wins.
I started wearing sunscreen at 8 years old as it was mom‘s rule. I am turning 30 at the end of this year. People do not believe me when I tell them my real age. Sunscreen is crucial !
I've been using high sunscreen since I was 15, every day rain or shine all year long. I even mail ordered it from France when I couldn't get high ones in the US. The best now are Korean sunscreens. I'm almost 60 now and get pegged for mid 40's. I'm glad I committed to this habit.
I used sunscreen only when needed. Bec after applying the sunscreen, my entire face starts to sweat. Regardless of any sunscreen brand. So decided to skip it most of the time.
I am now in my early 30’s, I started to be conscious with UV rays when I was on my 20’s but my mistake was I relied with my make up sunscreen protection which just around spf15. I was around 27yrs old when I learned I was doing it wrong. It’s never too late to correct those mistakes, at this age there are few sun damage spots I see on my face, but still it was way less than those with people I see around me. I use laroche posay tone up for 2 years now especially when going out, then I use Biore Gel sunscreen when I am at home!
I startet using sunscreen at the age of 15. But one mistake I’m still doing, is only applying sunscreen in the morning when I leave my house. That’s what I’m currently working on :) I also startet using the Bioré watery essence sunscreen, because it’s not greasy at all and doesn't leave a white cast. It also helps with my acne.
some people mix their foundation, moisturizer or other products with their sunscreen and then apply it. This actually makes the SPF weak and the sunscreen less functional
I'm using SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++ and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++. I use them when I go out shopping, with most times spent indoors. However, if I know I'm going to be outdoors a lot, I'll wear an available broad spectrum, waterproof SPF100+ (usually Neutrogena) and use a UV Umbrella.
i am using the kose suncut perfect uv gel and its perfect for my oily skin 😋 i would also recommend the biore athlizm too. i also do this little trick where i use a mineral sunscreen which leaves a white cast around my eyes so it helps to protect my eye area and also brighten it up!!
I never wear sunscreen but started too when I know I’ll be exposed for lengthy durations. Recently I started using a moisturizer with some spf in it, this way I know I atleast have some protection. Which is progress
I started getting serious about applying sunscreen was when I was in my mid 20s and now I’m loving the CosRX Aloe SPF suncreen. Dries quickly and doesn’t have a gray cast. My mistake is I apply too little suncreen. Suncreen really helps because when I saw my photos when I was a teenager, my skin was too dark, dry, and uneven skin tone before
I started at age 20, I am 23 now. I use everyday the NeoStrata Minesol body and face FPS99 and it's the best sunscreen ever! And I'm trying two from Missha Aqua Sun stick and Cotton Sun stick, they're great to reapply during the day. Wearing sunscreen everyday (and reaplying it) changed my life for better :-))
I started applying sunscreen since the age of 14, one of the best are the Korean sunscreen. Right now I’m using Sunprise SPF50 with a little bit of white tint and makes my super white skin even.
Right now I use Etude House Sunprise spf 50 or Etude House Face Blur spf 33. I add a drop or two of concealer for very dark golden skin to the bottle and shake it well, to help neutralize the blueish white they have.
I'm turning 34 yo, and just recently I started worrying about applying sunscreen. It became a routine and mandatory things to buy when I'm doing groceries. I Brazil, sunscreen is a little expensive, so I always buy the one that's on sale/especial offer. I also preffer brands like Anasol and Ricosol (from manufacturer Dahuer), Red Apple, Nivea and Cenoura & Bronze.
I wanted to talk about littllextra riceberry sunscreen, it's just awesome. I applied it on my face and neck. My skin was extremely dry, it used to be white flaky, and touching my skin would make it turn white. But now, I don't have any such issues. My skin is now very soft and smooth, and the itching is completely gone. The face looks radiant when combined with the riceberry face serum. My cousin, who visited after a few months yesterday, even complimented me.
The problem is its so expensive for a good one that doesn't look crazy on your face and still even just body sunscreen is expensive, and for the amount you need and reapply, it's hard to afford.
This is why it's stupid to be so damn obsessed with sunscreens. Like bich you gonna get old when you get old, no matter how hard you try to stop the wrinkles. Applying while inside and reapplying every 2 hours even when the UVI is low, is just bs and money wasting. Some people can barely afford to pay rents and these sunscreen obsessed dermatologists and influencers want us to waste so much money on it.
Started around 26 and currently using Neutrogena SPF 75. It is thick when applied so imagine my reaction regarding the “two finger length” measurement guide 😅
Reapplying is one of the most common mistakes. Many beautician including derms told me to apply sunscreen but they forgot to mention the importance of reapplying until I learnt it from other derms from the States and Australia. We should always reapply every 2-3 hours. I always carry a bottle of sunscreen in my bag so I can reapply it. I don't wear make up so it's easier for me to reapply.
I love Japanese sunscreens.. I used to like Korean sunscreens too, but because of the Purito controversy, I got skeptical of all Korean ones so I stuck with Japanese ✨
@@heartforall5853 based on a Google search, which I’m not sure if I’m correct if that’s the controversy. My Google search said they Purito sunscreen labels their SPF higher than what it actually contains.
Currently using SunPlay Skin Aqua UV Brightening Moisture Gel SPF50 (for face & neck) & Nano White Omega Day Shield SPF50 (only body, really hate using it on my face).

Hi Doctor, I’m 36 and have sensitive and oily skin. I got the worse sunburn ever in my life when I was overseas at an island a month ago. I had zero sunscreen on and am generally not a skincare person. NOW, I start to get more serious. Currently I’m using: Cleanser: Avene Tolerance Lotion Extremely Gentle Cleanser (daytime), Avène Gel Moussant (night). La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baumé B5+ ultra soothing cream after cleansing at night. Recommended by dermatologist overseas. But not sure if this is considered a moisturizer. I’m looking for a suitable toner, serum, moisturizer, and SPF. What would you recommend? And are the above cleanser okay? Thank you.
I am not sure I understood your statement about high percentage of SPF. If I apply SPF50, and stay out a lot and sweat, it’s actually more dangerous for my skin?
I have dry skin and I use the Bondi Sans face one, I like this one because it's fragrance free and claims to be reef friendly whilst also being accessible in drug stores here in the UK. I used to use the Burnout Sensitive one and it was too costly due to shipping fees on top of the the price of the actual product. I'd say both were good but Bondi Sans is less than half the price and feels the same on my skin which is hydrating with a slight weight to it, not too light but not greasy feeling as much. I want to check out Korean brand sunscreens because I've heard many great things!
I use spf 50+ but I never go under the sun! I always try to stay under the sun for less than a minute a day 😂🤣 always find shade wherever I go! O use an umbrella ☂

I started using sunscreen recently, at the age of 12. The one I am using is Jovees SPF 60. Thanks doctor for the tips 💖
can u recommend a sunscreen for oily skin , under budget ?
some people mix their foundation, moisturizer or other products with their sunscreen and then apply it.
This actually makes the SPF weak and the sunscreen less functional
True
Fairy skin sunscreen user here!! 🇵🇭 Thank you Doc. Ingky!!
Hada Labo Koi-Gokujyun UV White Gel SPF 50+
I started at 18. It made me sooooo much prettier people actually thought maybe i was pregnant or in love because i was as they say "GLOWING"
I started wearing sunscreen in my teens! So at least 12-15 years ago!!
I use oriflame sunscreen spf 50 I have been using it for the last 6(22) years and its quite good
Currently I am using Misha Aqua Sun Gel. Next I will switch to Skin Aqua Sunscreen.
I never wear sunscreen indoor but I learnt today!!
I started using sunscreen at age 36 and im turning 40 now 😊 I'm using Below 50++++ and PONDS 50++++
I'm using SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++
and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++.
I use them when I go out shopping, with most times spent indoors. However, if I know I'm going to be outdoors a lot, I'll wear an available broad spectrum, waterproof SPF100+ (usually Neutrogena) and use a UV Umbrella.
Is there a difference between sunblock and sunscreen?
i am using the kose suncut perfect uv gel and its perfect for my oily skin 😋 i would also recommend the biore athlizm too. i also do this little trick where i use a mineral sunscreen which leaves a white cast around my eyes so it helps to protect my eye area and also brighten it up!!
I never wear sunscreen but started too when I know I’ll be exposed for lengthy durations. Recently I started using a moisturizer with some spf in it, this way I know I atleast have some protection. Which is progress
Make sure it's spf 30 or above bro. None of that spf 15 non sense
Love the 2 finger length rule to know how much sunscreen to put on :) How many finger lengths for the neck?
I started getting serious about applying sunscreen was when I was in my mid 20s and now I’m loving the CosRX Aloe SPF suncreen. Dries quickly and doesn’t have a gray cast. My mistake is I apply too little suncreen. Suncreen really helps because when I saw my photos when I was a teenager, my skin was too dark, dry, and uneven skin tone before
I use kalahari spf40 daily and love it!!
I started at age 20, I am 23 now. I use everyday the NeoStrata Minesol body and face FPS99 and it's the best sunscreen ever! And I'm trying two from Missha Aqua Sun stick and Cotton Sun stick, they're great to reapply during the day. Wearing sunscreen everyday (and reaplying it) changed my life for better :-))
Oh and I live in Brazil, northern Brazil specifically... sun hits hard here
I started applying sunscreen since the age of 14, one of the best are the Korean sunscreen. Right now I’m using Sunprise SPF50 with a little bit of white tint and makes my super white skin even.
I'm from Pakistan, I'm currently using Suncoat Gel SPF 100.
I am 20 i had too had started using sunscreen and My favourite sunscreen is Minimalist invisible Sunscreen.
Dunno if Singapore got or not but I use Eucerin here in the States. SPF50. Non-sticky. Non-irritating. Very affordable.
Hi Dr Ingky, should we apply sunscreen around eyes?
if you can tolerate it sure, otherwise just wear sunglasses ;)
yes all around ur face and ur ears and neck too
Right now I use Etude House Sunprise spf 50 or Etude House Face Blur spf 33. I add a drop or two of concealer for very dark golden skin to the bottle and shake it well, to help neutralize the blueish white they have.
I'm turning 34 yo, and just recently I started worrying about applying sunscreen. It became a routine and mandatory things to buy when I'm doing groceries.
I Brazil, sunscreen is a little expensive, so I always buy the one that's on sale/especial offer.
I also preffer brands like Anasol and Ricosol (from manufacturer Dahuer), Red Apple, Nivea and Cenoura & Bronze.
I wanted to talk about littllextra riceberry sunscreen, it's just awesome. I applied it on my face and neck. My skin was extremely dry, it used to be white flaky, and touching my skin would make it turn white. But now, I don't have any such issues. My skin is now very soft and smooth, and the itching is completely gone. The face looks radiant when combined with the riceberry face serum. My cousin, who visited after a few months yesterday, even complimented me.
The problem is its so expensive for a good one that doesn't look crazy on your face and still even just body sunscreen is expensive, and for the amount you need and reapply, it's hard to afford.
Yes
This is why it's stupid to be so damn obsessed with sunscreens. Like bich you gonna get old when you get old, no matter how hard you try to stop the wrinkles. Applying while inside and reapplying every 2 hours even when the UVI is low, is just bs and money wasting. Some people can barely afford to pay rents and these sunscreen obsessed dermatologists and influencers want us to waste so much money on it.
Start at age 30 & currently using axis-y sunscreen
Started around 26 and currently using Neutrogena SPF 75. It is thick when applied so imagine my reaction regarding the “two finger length” measurement guide 😅
Reapplying is one of the most common mistakes. Many beautician including derms told me to apply sunscreen but they forgot to mention the importance of reapplying until I learnt it from other derms from the States and Australia. We should always reapply every 2-3 hours. I always carry a bottle of sunscreen in my bag so I can reapply it. I don't wear make up so it's easier for me to reapply.
How do you find time to reapply? Also a place, I can't imagine applying anything on my face without washing my hands first 😅
@@rosenette11 look up stick sunscreen if you don’t want to use your hands, it’s very practical
I didn’t know I had to reapply until recently. But it’s kinda hard for me because I do wear makeup so idk how to make it work….
I love Japanese sunscreens.. I used to like Korean sunscreens too, but because of the Purito controversy, I got skeptical of all Korean ones so I stuck with Japanese ✨
Can you recommend some of your favourite japanese sunscreens? I only know Nivea Japan sunscreen, skin aqua, biore.
What happened during the purito controversy?
@@nova692 i really like skin aqua and hatomugi
@@heartforall5853 based on a Google search, which I’m not sure if I’m correct if that’s the controversy. My Google search said they Purito sunscreen labels their SPF higher than what it actually contains.
@@heartforall5853
Spf 19 only when they claim 50..the cheat
Am using the Biore uv aqua rich which recommended by dr ingky
Love
I started sunscreen 18s old.
now I am 20s,useing 3w clinic sunscreen. And this sunscreen review dr. inkey.
I've been using VMV hypoallergenics spf 60 since I was 18. It's the best sunscreen for me.
Currently using SunPlay Skin Aqua UV Brightening Moisture Gel SPF50 (for face & neck) & Nano White Omega Day Shield SPF50 (only body, really hate using it on my face). Started trying SPF since I was 16 (rarely use it) but fully committed using it daily when I was 26 (introduced to the big beautiful world of Japanese/Korean sunscreen 🤣🤣🤣)
I apply sunscreen for a longtimes, everyday and now IAM 47 yrs old and il look liké 35 yrs old, very proud og myself
I was wondering this weird question, is it okay/beneficial to apply a mineral AND chemical sunscreen together?
I'm using Missha Aqua Sun Gel.
Does sunscreen expire? If yes, how do we identify it? Does it cause any damage to skin
Obviously they expire,expiration dates are well written on the packaging
Hi Doctor, I’m 36 and have sensitive and oily skin. I got the worse sunburn ever in my life when I was overseas at an island a month ago. I had zero sunscreen on and am generally not a skincare person.
NOW, I start to get more serious.
Currently I’m using:
Cleanser: Avene Tolerance Lotion Extremely Gentle Cleanser (daytime), Avène Gel Moussant (night).
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baumé B5+ ultra soothing cream after cleansing at night. Recommended by dermatologist overseas. But not sure if this is considered a moisturizer.
I’m looking for a suitable toner, serum, moisturizer, and SPF. What would you recommend? And are the above cleanser okay? Thank you.
Being Australian started at 13 I use Ultra Sunscreen SPF50+ From the Australian cancer council
Can you please do a video about popular sunscreens? Regarding they are worth it or not?
Thank u so much for telling me that price doesn't matter spf is important becz I thought that high end sunscreen is good
I start using sunscreen at 27.... now i am 34.... I am using Innisfree long lasting & triple shield now
Isntree is my holy grail! Very hydrating, but not oily :D
Thanks for sharing!!
I am not sure I understood your statement about high percentage of SPF. If I apply SPF50, and stay out a lot and sweat, it’s actually more dangerous for my skin?
I started using sunscreen when I was 13 and now in am 14.I know its only one year but consistency is still going on
Consistenly using sunscreen is good.
Am using Skin Doctor Sun Screen
Pls make a video on IR protection which sunscreen fails to protect
Thanks alot...doc no one till now inform us how much we have to apply sunscreen ,I used to small amount now I have to Change
I have dry skin and I use the Bondi Sans face one, I like this one because it's fragrance free and claims to be reef friendly whilst also being accessible in drug stores here in the UK. I used to use the Burnout Sensitive one and it was too costly due to shipping fees on top of the the price of the actual product. I'd say both were good but Bondi Sans is less than half the price and feels the same on my skin which is hydrating with a slight weight to it, not too light but not greasy feeling as much. I want to check out Korean brand sunscreens because I've heard many great things!
I use spf 50+ but I never go under the sun! I always try to stay under the sun for less than a minute a day 😂🤣 always find shade wherever I go! O use an umbrella ☂
Currently Using our South African One called Lelive all shades tinted SPF 30 broad spectrum and cosrx aloe sunscreen SPF 50... I alternate between these... I started in my late 30's... Now 43
Better late than never right ?
